" Beautiful Mya-Moe ukulele was delivered today Friday September 11,2015.  Love it and it plays so well already.  Packaged very well and box was in great condition.  Well worth the wait. Again thanks to all of you at Mya-Moe Ukuleles for your beautiful work and talent.  A masterpiece that will be treasured."
