"*I will always fondly remember the great 5 years Stuart Day was second in command in my shop. Not only is he gifted visually and multi dimensional in his vision and execution of Luthiery, and very natural in this theatre, with an early background in painting and other disciplines of art, He also is an individual of the highest integrity, and was a genuine pleasure to work with. I thoroughly enjoyed The "Stuart Day" era in my private shop, I was blessed to have his creative focus and intellect and have genuinely missed having his quiet focused companionship here in the shop, I think he will have a brilliant and long lasting career. I expect great things from Stuart, and am sure he will not disappoint! *"
