" I’m well happy with my little Gem of a #1992 Mya-Moe Super Soprano Walnut/Redwood Ukulele.  The sound / tone is BIG, really BIG & full. The Walnut is beautiful, such lovely curl in the back & sides.  I absolutely love every aspect of it.  It plays like a dream up the neck. It has been well worth the wait. "
