DAYMAKER MUSIC
About Us:
Daymaker Music carries a curated selection of acoustic and electric guitars, accessories, remanufactured vintage instruments, books, children’s instruments, musical toys, and one-of-a-kind musical curios. We offer instruments and gear for all ages and levels, alongside a full-service repair shop specializing in everything from basic maintenance to advanced restoration.
Our Story:
The founders of Daymaker Music are a husband and wife team, Elizabeth and Paris Patt. From 2018 to 2023, Paris and Elizabeth co-founded and ran Patt’s Guitar Repair in Los Angeles. After years of serving the LA music and arts scene, the couple relocated to Bainbridge Island to raise their family and build something lasting. Daymaker Music is the next chapter—a space where their combined experience meets a new community of musicians and creators.
Our Vision:
We hope to become a lasting part of Bainbridge Island’s cultural life—a place where music is celebrated, supported, and shared. In the years ahead, we plan to grow our offerings to include regular music programming for kids, teens, and adults, and eventually develop a dedicated venue space for local and touring artists to perform.

Paris Patt
CO-FOUNDER, SALES, LUTHIER & CONSERVATOR
Paris Patt is a lifelong musician, luthier, and objects conservator with a unique background that bridges the worlds of music performance, fine art, and restoration. His musical journey began at age two with piano and later expanded through classical training at the Colburn School of Music. Over the years, he explored jazz, composition, and performance on guitar, upright bass, and electric bass—experiences that deepened his understanding of what musicians need from their instruments.
That insight led Paris to McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, where he spent years apprenticing and working as a journeyman luthier, working on the sales floor, and managing their library. There, he developed a deep respect for hands-on craftsmanship and the delicate balance between playability, tone, and preservation.
Beyond guitars, Paris is an accomplished sculpture and objects conservator. He has worked with museums, galleries, and private collections, including the City of Los Angeles and the Marciano Art Foundation. His dual expertise brings a rare, conservation-grade approach to instrument repair—blending the precision of museum work with the practical needs of working musicians.

Elizabeth Patt
CO-FOUNDER, INSTRUMENT CONSERVATOR
Elizabeth holds a Master’s Degree in Preventive Conservation with a specialization in Instrument Conservation from Northumbria University. Her research focused on the care and conservation of stringed musical instruments, combining her experience in guitar repair with her training in object conservation. She began her career apprenticing in a professional art conservation studio, where she mastered the restoration of ceramics, metals, and wood before turning her attention fully to lutherie.
Since 2018, she has operated her own private conservation practice specializing in outdoor sculpture and object conservation, and she has worked with leading institutions including LACMA, MOCA, and the Getty Conservation Institute.
In Los Angeles, she co-founded and ran Patt’s Guitar Repair, serving musicians ranging from hobbyists to professionals.
