Podcast 48: Mya-Moe Ukuleles

For the last few years, Char and Gordon Mayer of Mya-Moe
Ukuleles have combined creating stunning ukuleles with an
interesting business model. They hope, quite simply, to be the
Collings or Benedetto of high-end, American-built ukes. In this
week's podcast, we talk to the couple about how they got started
making ukuleles, the incredible growth their company has seen in
just a few years and just how they get ukes into the hands of
some of the music world's biggest artists. In addition to being
used by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder (who will be appearing on the
cover of Fretboard Journal #24), Mya-Moes have been
embraced by Dave Matthews, Florence & the Machine, Ben Harper
and Trey Anastasio (Phish), to name a few. It's an interesting
half-hour talk with one of the ukulele world's newest makers.
