Using your Fender Avalon Tenor Ukulele is a breeze. First, tune it up using the open - back geared tuning machines. Once it's in tune, you can start strumming or picking. To change strings, use the no - tie bridge for a quick and easy process. When you're not playing, store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in very humid areas, as this can damage the wood. To keep it in good condition, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after each use. If you notice any issues with the fretboard or the hardware, it's a good idea to take it to a professional for servicing. With proper care, your ukulele will last a long time and keep sounding great.
