Using your Fender Seaside Soprano Ukulele is easy. First, take it out of the gig bag and attach the clip - on tuner to the headstock. Tune your ukulele using the open - back geared tuning machines until the tuner shows the correct pitch. You're ready to start playing! To play a chord, place your fingers on the appropriate frets as shown in a chord chart. For a note, just pluck one of the strings. When not in use, always put your ukulele back in the gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent the wood from warping. Regularly check the strings for wear and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, occasionally clean the fretboard with a soft cloth to keep it in good condition.
