4.1 വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ

The ukulele features an open pore silk matt finish. To clean, gently wipe the body and neck with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and sweat. For deeper cleaning, use a small amount of instrument-specific cleaner designed for matte finishes, applied to the cloth, not directly to the instrument.

4.2 സ്ട്രിംഗ് മാറ്റിസ്ഥാപിക്കൽ

Strings should be replaced periodically, typically every few months depending on usage, or when they sound dull or show signs of wear. Always replace strings with a set designed for ukuleles, such as Aquila Supernylgut strings. Replace one string at a time to maintain tension on the neck.

4.3 സംഭരണം

When not in use, store your ukulele in its padded gig bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and minor impacts. Avoid exposing the instrument to extreme temperatures or humidity fluctuations, as this can cause damage to the wood. Ideal storage conditions are a stable temperature between 18-25°C (65-77°F) and relative humidity between 45-55%.
