" I am gobsmacked! It is simply gorgeous. The low action is easy on the fingers. The radiused fretboard reduces the amount of pressure needed for making bar chords. The tone is bright and clear, the intonation perfect. Anyone shopping for a ukulele who wants great looks, killer tone, perfect intonation and superior craftsmanship has to consider Mya-Moe."

- Joe B.
