This instrument is a retirement gift for Chris, who served 21 years in the Boise fire department. Thank you for all you’ve done for your community!

The all Myrtle tenor is a mainstay for us, ever since I worked at Mya-Moe and we pioneered an all domestic woods instrument. This Myrtle is from Kevin at woodfromthewest.com. It provides a balanced tone, a beautiful look and a nice feel under the hand. The neck is some Western Hemlock that I got from another luthier. The rest is Pistachio from California orchards.

“Howdy Aaron & Nicole & Henry!
Words cannot express how beautiful this uke is! It is truly a work of art and the care and craft that went into it are amazing! I really appreciate the details (like the layered endgraft!) The tone is perfect and it feels like a long-lost new friend. I will be putting in the work to deserve this for sure! I love the finish too!

The pistachio fretboard is a joy to look at (and I love the matching headplate and bridge!) The neck fits my hand so well, perfect size for me. Being a WA State native kid it means a lot to me to have this gem made out of PNW woods (and Calif. pistachio is just so pretty!)

I had bought a Fishman Micro in anticipation of this beauty and Wow! I love the K&K pickup, so clean and clear! The Kala case is so Cool too! I laughed and shouted when I opened the shipping box, “Oh man, it’s a tweed case!”

My good friend who retired from Boise FD just before me is learning guitar; I feel some jams coming on!
