" When I opened the beautiful case that held my new Mya Moe ukulele, I was stunned! Speechless!  Yes, I had seen my ukulele on the Uke Tracker page, but seeing it, holding it, playing it in the presence of Gordon and Char was a very moving experience, the culmination of a year of getting to know the craftsmen at Mya Moe through their website and especially their videos. This is Mya Moe: the fine ukulele and the whole experience getting there. So rewarding! "
