" I am absolutely delighted with my new Mya-Moe ukulele.  I can play it more easily than any other ukulele I have.  It sounds the best of all my ukuleles.  And it's drop-dead gorgeous. But I have to say that the Mya-Moe experience is more than that.  Their process allows the new owner to observe every build step.  They professional make you feel part of their extended family.  You, the new owner, will know that your ukulele is not just special but very much designed to be your special ukulele.""
