" Exquisite. Love the wood grain and all of the different colors I see in the wood. The abalone rosette and purfling show it off. Also like the side wood you chose for this uke. And of course it sounds absolutely incredible. Really resonates. Thank you to everyone at Mya-Moe for your craftsmanship and attention to detail."
