Cascade Series

 

" Just to let you know the uke arrived today and it’s stunning. It's every thing I could have hoped for and a bit more! The craftsmanship is amazing. Mya-Moe #3 one day--maybe a resonator but ‘till then thanks to you Char and Aaron for making this purchase a very enjoyable one."

- Alan H.
