" You know you're in love when you think about your beloved all the time and you can't wait to see and be with them again.  I love my Mya-Moe! A great musical instrument is made from all the attention to detail Char, Gordon, and Aaron put in.  From the strap added to the case to the custom headstock to the emails exchanged with Char and Gordon, getting a Mya-Moe is all about attention to details. I won't enumerate further details - that's for you to discover.  I will say, that the end result is a musical instrument that sing beautiful notes to you; speaks to your ears, eyes, hands, mind, and heart."

- Jonathan P.
