Mya-Moe Tenor Classic Ukulele (Serial Number 1936) 2016 - Hand-rubbed oil

Among superlative things, this Mya-Moe tenor uke is tremendously cool. A brilliant voice and light as a feather, it could become your favorite songwriting tool. One of their Cascade series instruments, the back, top, and sides are figured Sycamore. The neck is Port Orford Cedar. Fretboard and bindings are Maple, as is the rosette. It is equipped with Peghed brand geared tuners -- so while having the appearance of friction tuning pegs, they are in fact excellently-functioning geared tuners. Signed by Gordon and Char Mayer and Aaron Keim. A lifetime-instrument, it’s among that rarified category of instruments that will be cherished for generations. This one is a consignment. Includes pictured hard shell case.
