" I've been playing it virtually non-stop since I opened the case.  I absolutely love it! The sound is so unique and beautiful, and of course the woodwork and finish is a masterpiece.   Thank you and the rest of the Mya-Moe team so much for your passion and dedication to creating such incredible instruments! I am so grateful."
