" My beautiful mya moe #1857 arrived safely yesterday and it's amazing! I am impressed by how beautiful is looks, smells, and feels, but I am even more amazed at how beautiful it sounds!!! Now I know what all the hype was about and let me tell you it was worth the almost 20+ months since I joined the wait list. Job well done and it's been a pleasure working with you guys! Like I said each time I pick it up I want another one! "
