Ok, so I'm pondering a nice tenor uke that has the combination of a radiused fingerboard and a 1.5 nut width. Mya-Moe fits the bill without having to order a super high dollar custom uke. Cool!
Questions:
1. Reading their history taken from their website, it appears they have not been at the uke building thing for very long. Despite what appears to be a mostly universal favorable reputation, has anyone encountered any problems with fit, finish, playability, or tone. Not asking for bashing here, just honest critiques. If there are no issues, all the better.
2. Regarding the hand rubbed oil finishes - do they hold up well or are they subject to a greater than normal amount of wear and tear. The cost of the gloss upgrade is fairly steep, but has anyone opted for that as a hedge against surface wear and tear or is the standard finish not an issue.
3. Kind of a sidebar question, but how does the mango wood sound compared to the other tone wood choices. I read their tone wood descriptions but was just curious to hear from mango owners.
Many thanks
