" I received my Mya-Moe cedar/walnut tenor about a week and a half ago.  I love this uke.  It has a suprisingly big voice, warm and mellow like a good winter coat on Minnesota nights yet clear and bright enough to hold attention in our rowdy jam sessions.  And it's only a couple weeks old.  Think of what it will be like as it matures over the next weeks and months! Many thanks to the Mya-Moe team for such a great ukulele."
