" The same care and love that crafted this Mya-Moe ukulele is now expressed in an enduring and affectionate bond between player and instrument - dedicated to the memory of Teresa. One of our daughters also owns a Mya-Moe ukulele cut from the same wood. We feel much gratitude to you for your talent and devotion to each instrument."

- Matthew S.
