Cascade Series

 

" I produced a house concert this evening for the wonderful Kiki Ebsen who invited me to play and sing with her on a number of tunes. My new Mya-Moe walnut concert resonator sounded, looked, and played beautifully.  It’s as if my hands and fingers were literally born for the instrument.  And the best part about my new resonator:  It’s LOUD.  I’ve already named it “The Blaster.”  Thanks so much for all of the skill, care and artistry you put into these instruments."
