Usage and maintenance tips
To get the most protection from the GB-4G-UKECON, always place the ukulele centered inside the case, resting on the neck support and with the body resting on the padding. Avoid storing hard or metal objects in the same compartment as the instrument. After playing, it's advisable to wipe the strings and fretboard with a dry cloth before storing, especially in humid environments.
To keep the case in good condition, clean the nylon exterior with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding abrasive products.
