" The uke looks beautiful - really excited to get my hands on it! I see that you guys worked on Sunday to meet your commitments to your customers. It is really refreshing to see the passion that you have for your work and that you understand when expectations are set, it is important to meet those expectations. Mya-Moe stands as a model for how a business should be run."

- Paul O.
