Cascade Series

 

" I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I've been enjoying my  myrtle tenor May-Moe. It's a repeated pleasure every time I open up the case. The beauty of the workmanship, the anticipation of the fine tone, sustain and playability, and smell of the cedar, greet me every time the lid goes up."

- Rick R.
