" What a gorgeous instrument!  Its bright sound is as great as the instrument looks. It is obvious you took your time attending to every detail.  I can’t thank you enough & know that I will enjoy playing it - hopefully - long into the future.  I feel so lucky to have this custom made Mya-Moe ukulele!  "
