This paper is a brief discussion of the history of Ribbecke Guitars. During the Sacred Geometry  classes I began to wonder why my husband, Tom, made guitars with such a wonderful, rich sound. I have only been along for the last eighteen years of his career, so we ended up spending hours of %me over several weeks discussing what motivated him. I learned the science and art behind his designs and watched YouTube videos of artists playing his instruments and discussing the materials used, the innovative elements and what they loved about them. It has been and interesting journey. My class presentation will be a short  explanation of some of his patented designs followed by a video made inside his shop where he shares information about three guitars in various stages of construction.
