Subject has been up before. I went to see him last year when he was living in Ennis to check out his work. A student of mine bought a half set on my recommendation.

Stuff works well, some parts are a bit unusual design wise. Gordon was mentored by Cillian O Briain and it shows. He is in the early stages of his development, nice work, easy playing and well tuned but I thought he's not underquoting himself.

I have a chanter from him due to arrive soon. I'll probably comment on it in laborious detail once it gets here...
