" Having read so many favourable reviews of Mya-Moe Ukuleles, I had high expectations. The final product however was better than what I had dared to imagine. To describe it as a fine instrument would be a serious understatement. This is a work of art. The attention to detail in incredible. If you are looking for something at the very top end of the quality ladder, you got it with Mya-Moe."
