" I’ve spent many joyful hours acquainting myself with my Mya Moe tenor.  I have several other ukuleles, but my Mya-Moe is the only one I actually play now days.  It is completely superior to the others in every way, especially in its very presence - it actually seems to demand a certain level of respect, which I give it, and it gives back to me an elevated sound and improved musicianship.  I adore it."

- Barbara H.
