" My Mya-Moe arrived today in perfect condition.  WOW what a beauty it is.  I could not feel more proud and excited to own this instrument.  It is the perfect design for me. You can be assured that I will take very good care of this gorgeous uke you have created and will own it for a lifetime. Thanks so much for being such wonderful craftsman and all the love and attention you personally put into each instrument.  It shows in so many ways."
