Using your Fender Avalon tenor ukulele is easy. First, tune it using the open - back geared tuning machines. You can start strumming right away and enjoy the deep tones it produces. When changing strings, use the no - tie bridge for a quick and hassle - free process. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to keep the satin finish looking good. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice any issues with the frets or tuning, it's a good idea to take it to a professional for a check - up.
