Gordon NZ certainly had a lot of repair knowledge and a very logical way of thinking about things, but was not an accomplished player at all and his weakness was that he disregarded advice, opinion, and preferences from those of us who had a high standard of playing demanded from us. Some of his repairs were exemplary- very fine workmanship. Other times (if he didn't really respect a player) he'd leave splinters poking into the bore (from enlarging a tone hole), and ignored advice from people who knew more about a subject than he did (as an example, his "voicing" and adjusting pad heights routinely involved just having the pads as high as possible, which on clarinet, AND ESPECIALLY ON SAXOPHONE caused intonation problems.
Yet on the BB he was a genius.
You only learn so much about a person from what they post on the internet.
