Cascade Series

 

" My new Mya-Moe ukulele is a joy to touch, hold, and play!  I waited a year and half to receive it, and it was well worth the wait, as well as every penny of the cost.  I marvel at the craftsmanship every time I play it, and feel honored to own such a fine instrument.  This is truly one of the nicest things I own, and I will treasure it foreve"
