Using this gig bag is a breeze. First, open the bag and gently place your tenor ukulele inside, making sure it fits snugly. You can use the adjustable backpack straps to carry it on your back, adjusting them to your comfort level. If you need to grab a pick quickly, use the pick - clip. When it comes to the exterior pocket, you can store small items like a tuner or extra strings. For maintenance, keep the bag clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture, as this could damage the nylon material and the padding. Also, be careful when putting the ukulele in and taking it out to prevent any scratches. If the bag gets wet, dry it thoroughly before storing it to avoid mold growth.
