" Build Quality: The uke is designed and built as flawlessly as you can expect from a hand-made instrument.

Playability: This area is where the uke truly shines.

Sound: This is my 2nd Mya-Moe and I find it superior acoustically to my first one in almost every aspect. Basically, it has significantly more of the Mya-Moe goodness."
