" I received my resonator and am in love.  It sounds great and looks terrific!   I am always proud to play my Mya-Moe ukes (this is my third) because I know that I am playing a high quality instrument that produces the best possible sound.  When playing a Mya-Moe, you can never say, "Well, if only I had a better uke....". Ain't nothing better in my book."
