" The ukulele is everything I thought it would be then a little more. You are to be commended on your prompt service as well as your fine workmanship. You are well deserving of the reputation you enjoy in the ukulele community, my friends that recommended you were correct. Again thank you for all the courtesies you extended my way. I look forward to my next Mya-Moe Ukulele. "
