Using your Epiphone Hummingbird Tenor Ukulele is easy. First, tune it to GCEA using the premium open - back machine heads.

When traveling, use the included gigbag to protect your ukulele. As 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 remove any fingerprints or dirt. If you need to clean the strings, use a string cleaner. Be gentle when adjusting the machine heads or the bridge to avoid any damage. And always make sure the nut and saddle are in good condition for optimal playability.
