" Sorry i haven't replied earlier....i meant to, but i've been to busy playing this beauty.

You'll be pleased to know that my uke arrived in perfect condition, and i couldn't have been happier with it. Everything i expected and more! It's been really fun and exciting for me throughout the whole process, I want to thank everyone at mya-moe for the experience."
