" My ukulele arrived a few days ago and we’ve become inseparable. Simply said, this ukulele is a work of art. Light weight with clear, bright and resonant sound, it has a character all its own. The sustain is remarkable. The workmanship is flawless. And the combination of very low action and radiused fret board make it the easiest ukulele I have ever played up the neck. Finally, the K&K Twin Spot pickup is fabulous. Thank you for taking such intelligent, artistic and meticulous care with my instrument. It took about 27 seconds to bond with it and now I want another Mya-Moe!"
