" Just a quick note to let you know my new six-string arrived safely and I have been spending quite a bit of the weekend enjoying its rich, vibrant tone. I was pleasantly surprised with how full the sound is.  As always the craftsmanship is superb. Many thanks for the countless hours of enjoyment my Mya Moe instruments have provided me through the past few years, I am grateful for and cherish each and everyone of them."
