Testimonials


Tom Ribbecke
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.

Robert Buzz Jackson
“I had the good fortune to watch Stuart grow in Ribbecke’s shop from the new kid in the shop, who got to do the jobs nobody else wanted, to shop foreman. Every job was done with the same care and enthusiasm, no matter how small, or how large, it was most impressive to say the least”
