" I have had 547 for some time now and I play it every day for a while and I can't tell you how much I enjoy the big sound that comes out of a really nice looking Ukulele. It has great tone and volume and it is a joy to sit and play both at home and with the group that I play with once a week. I can see why so many people love Mya-Moe Ukuleles. They are with out a doubt as good as it gets. Thanks so very much."
