" I'm over the moon to see how pretty and how well-balanced the whole design, color and sound turned out to be.. Thank you to entire Mya-Moe team and Larry for such wonderful craftsmanship! I'm also very grateful that the ukulele turned out in time as I'm approaching 2-year mark in my ukulele journey so far. What a great companion to have for long journey ahead!!"
