" Thanks again for making the most superb instrument I've ever played, the tone is sweet, excellent sustain and volume, and a thing of beauty!!! The whole Mya-Moe experience from beginning to end has been thrilling, from wood selection to watching my individual ukulele's construction, what a great job you guy's are doing."
