" I won't ever forget the experience of finally taking the beautiful ukulele out, strumming and picking the first chord, and then playing the first song. I felt the rich and unique Mya-Moe sound run through my body from head to toe and it was right then that I remember smiling so much to the point of cramping. The ukulele has unbelievable playability and acoustics as promised and it has definitely become my go-to instrument."
