Using your Fender Avalon tenor ukulele is easy. First, tune it up using the open - back geared tuning machines. The standard tenor uke strings are great for getting that classic sound. When you're ready to play, hold the ukulele comfortably, using the slim 'C' - shaped neck as a guide. To change strings, take advantage of the no - tie bridge for a quick and hassle - free process. As for maintenance, keep your ukulele in a dry place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to maintain the satin finish. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you need to adjust the tuning frequently, it might be a sign to check the strings or take it to a professional. Enjoy making music with your Fender Avalon!
