" I received my ukulele today. I have other fine ukuleles, but the set-up on my Mya-Moe is outstanding. My ukulele has the big and full sound I was hoping for in purchasing a resonator, hence the term Mando (or banjo) Slayer :-) . The sound will be a match when I play with my friends and family who play guitar, banjo, and mandolin. I am going to enjoy playing this wonderful instrument. Thanks for your communication, professionalism, and craftsmanship."
