  10. “Beyond discipline, devotion, courage, openness, adventure, and honesty, I view passion as a requirement to achieve quality and perfection…. … Dedication, intensity, and love of the small details, inspires my approach that the “right spirit” is needed in order to achieve greatness, not only on the performance stage, but everywhere else.” (Guy D. Tuneh)

    (the words of Guy Tuneh, from the offical website of the bow case
    carrying his name)
