Hi Everyone ,
Just last month I was fortunate enough to get on the last few build spots for Mya-Moe Ukulele. I ordered a Tenor with Sitka Spruce top and Koa Back and Sides. I really love this combination of tonewoods and am excited for it to arrive in 2018. Although it is a long wait, I think it will be well worth it judging by the positive reviews on the forum thus far.
However, just the other day as I was browsing through the forum, someone mentioned a Kanilea KSDLX: a spruce top Kanilea with Koa back and sides. I listened to as many sound samples as I could on HMS and it sounded wonderful. This made me really question if I should wait the 19 months for a Mya-Moe or not. I have tried a handful of Kanilea ukuleles in my local music stores (never the KSDLX though) and I have enjoyed the clear notes, warm tone, and long sustain. I can clearly see why this K brand ukulele is so coveted.
So my question is, should I wait for the Mya-Moe in 2018 (especially since they won't take custom orders from now on)? Or should I just get the Kanilea KSDLX? Any help/advice is appreciated! Thank you!
