" When you buy a mya-moe you get much more than a beautiful custom made ukulele that you will have the rest of your life and pass on to generations after you (as if that wasn't enough). You get a uniquely personalized experience that is hard to find anywhere else. The passion, dedication, and craftsmanship of Gordon, Char, and Aaron make the experience very special. And their customer service is beyond top notch. I love this ukulele and look forward to enjoying it for decades."
