Using your Fender Montecito Tenor Ukulele is a breeze. First, tune it up using the sealed nickel tuning machines. You can do this by ear or with a tuner. When you're ready to play, place your fingers on the frets according to the chords you want to play. The flat fretboard makes it easy to position your fingers. Changing strings is quick and easy thanks to the no - tie bridge. For maintenance, keep your ukulele in the included gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth to keep the gloss finish looking great. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the koa wood. Also, check the intonation periodically using the bone nut and saddle. If you notice any issues with the tuning or playability, take it to a professional for a check - up.
