After seeing George's beautiful new Mya Moe myrtle concert and reading his review of it in his blog, it got me to thinking. Is there a huge difference in tone and volume with Mya Moe in general before and after they have had sufficient time to open up? I know that I have read in recent threads that this can be the case. I know that there are many variables involved (wood types, humidity levels, bracing, etc.), but is this a common characteristic of Mya Moe?
Most of my ukuleles I have purchased second hand. Given their age most have already gone through their "opening up" period. My two high end ukes that I have bought new, my MB and my Collings UT-3, have changed somewhat acoustically, but not what I would say drastically. Both sounded wonderful from day 1. I didn't find myself waiting for their sound to evolve into something more pleasing to my ear.
