Secret Vault Series

 

" I got the ukulele today. It is beautiful, and HOLY RESONANCE, BATMAN! I got this tuned up and playing and it blew my mind. I already loved the Mya-Moes that I have played, but I just can't believe the sound that comes out of this tiny little package. So much sustain! So much resonance! So much wonderful tone! It sounds like I am playing a ukulele that was hand crafted by angels and delivered from the heavens. I LOVE it! Thanks again so much! You guys rock the ukulele universe!"
