Player Reviews:
"Dermot was the long time shop foreman at Lowden guitars. His own instruments have a sparkle reminiscent of Lowden but with a different midrange voice. This guitar loves to be hit hard and is very articulate when played lightly. It's versatile enough for many styles of music. The woods and craftsmenship are excellent. I especially like the Celtic inlays, a nice touch." - Paul Heumiller
