Using your Fender Zuma Classic Concert Ukulele is a breeze. First, tune it up using the sealed nickel tuning machines. For a good sound, place your fingers firmly on the frets and strum the strings gently. When playing, hold the ukulele comfortably against your body. For easy string changes, use the pull - through bridge. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it with a soft cloth regularly to keep the gloss finish looking great. If you're not using it for a long time, loosen the strings to reduce stress on the neck. Enjoy making music with your Zuma ukulele!
