" I am thrilled with the instrument - a beauty to look at and a dream to play. The detail work on the instrument and the quality of the wood itself are incredibly lovely. Then there is the warm sweet sound.... I am more than pleased to say how happy I am to have this lovely Mya-Moe ukulele. Many thanks for designing and creating such a high quality instrument."
