This is my 96th post, so I am planning to make my 100th post a review of my Mya Moe which is just now in process. http://www.myamoeukuleles.com/uketracker.php?trackingNumber=599&submit=Track
So this all started with an impulse buy of brazilian rosewood that I found online. I posted about this a while back and had a number of luthiers chime in about regulatory issues, of which I am now much more familiar. However, I don't plan to sell this instrument, and I'm told that the tree was chopped down over 60 years ago (not that that helps without paperwork). In any case, it's a very pretty wood and will be matched with curly port orford cedar, per Char Mayer's recommendation.

So far, Char and Gordon have been incredibly nice, answering all of my questions patiently. I have played one Mya Moe in person and found the instrument to be incredibly well crafted and quite different from others I've played, in a good way. I've never played a brazilian rosewood uke, but am hopeful that its reputation is well deserved.....
