History
Mya-Moe Ukuleles was founded in 2008 by Gordon and Char Mayer, husband and wife luthiers. Gordon Mayer began building ukuleles upon request after building several guitars. The workshop is located near the home of Gordon and Char Mayer. Ukuleles are primarily sold direct to consumer via the company web store rather than through a retail shop or dealers. Mya-Moe Ukuleles has a reputation for making quality instruments with configurable components.
Instruments
Mya-Moe ukuleles have been built from over 20 woods including traditional koa as well as myrtlewood (Umbellularia) found only in the local southern Oregon and northern Californian coasts.
Mya-Moe Ukuleles are available in six different models.
Once an instrument begins the production cycle, daily progress can be viewed on the UkeTracker page of the Mya-Moe website as photos are taken for each step.
Endorsements
Mya-Moe has created more than 2000 ukuleles for amateur and professional musicians around the world, including Eddie Vedder, Dave Matthews, Mumford & Sons, Trey Anastasio (Phish), Ben Harper, Florence + the Machine, James Hill, Victoria Vox, and The Decemberists.
