Mya-Moe One Series
About once a year, we come across a set of wood that is simply extraordinary - a set that is unlike any we've seen & any that we will find again. When this happens, we set it aside & wait until there is a player who wants to own a striking, one-of-a-kind ukulele. These instruments make up our Mya-Moe One Series.
The musician can choose to have this set of wood made into any of the models we produce and choose any of the options we offer, such as abalone body purfling on the top, rope body binding and/or rosette and K&K electronics.
We currently have 1 set of wood that qualifies to be part of the Mya-Moe One Series:
Milo
Once plentiful along the shores of Hawai'i, Milo is scarce now as shore-front properties have been cleared for houses & condominiums. This incredibly rare set of instrument-grade milo, came from one of our wood suppliers - Bruce Creps, who used to live in Hawai'i and who had been saving this set for just the right purpose. It has light brown sapwood, clearly defined from the reddish/chocolate brown heartwood. It is dense, but not as heavy as the ebonies. Milo is very silky to the touch & takes finish beautifully. Choose a spruce or cedar top for a gorgeous sounding instrument in any of the models we offer.
Master Grade Koa w/One-Piece Back
This set also came from our friend, Bruce Creps. Nothing short of stunning! Extreme curl and color we've never seen in any other set of koa. The back (shown left below) is one piece, very rare in the tenor size.
