" I just received my tenor. Thank you, all, for this beautiful instrument. Originally I chose Mya-Moe for my instruments because of the sound. Then I became taken with all the quality "trappings"" that accompany the ukes. As I play my new tenor I recall the vital reason for choosing Mya-Moe. Again, thank you."

- Fred T.
