For those who want more details about the ukulele contest... The high road is always the best way home and that is where I want to be traveling on my Mya-Moe ukulele journey. I appreciate all the passion and support from my exceptional community. Never before have I self-promoted this avidly, so I feel a responsibility to offer a few words of clarification after yesterdays confusion. -The contest was always very open-ended and subject (1) to each contestants interpretation of what its like to wait a year for a Mya-Moe ukulele, and (2) to each Mya-Moe staff members personal preference, with no other criteria. I asked for clarification and was told that each employee picked their first, second and third favorites and these were used to tabulate the winner. -All other indications of popular support, which included views and likes on YouTube and emails, were second-tier data that WOULD have been used in the event of a tie. Because there was not a tie, that information was not relevant to the contest. It was, however, extremely meaningful to me. The count on my contest video as of today is 1,452 views and 167 likes. Astounding! -Mya-Moe has chosen not to explain why they announced one winner and then removed the post and announced a new winner. I can say I thought the final winner was my closest and most heartful competition when I watched the entries in the first place. I am delighted that Ali won. -Thank you to all who expressed their opinions and support. You are one helluva bunch and I am proud! -Thank you to Kathy Schlegel Deane for her shameless promotion and to everyone who has donated through PayPal to help defray the cost of the custom Mya-Moe that will be built for me in January. I promise every dollar ($81 so far) will go toward realizing this dream. And to get our sights back on the dream, heres a demo by Aaron, one of the Mya-Moe luthiers, of an instrument with specifications almost identical to mine.
