Classic Tenor Ukulele Case, Black
Setting out to design the ultimate solution for the traveling ukulele player, inputs and inspiration from master ukulele builders and world touring players were gathered and the resulting product brings all of the protection of MONO's hybrid guitar case, at half the size. One of the world's most portable instruments just got more... portable. Respect the ukulele.
- DROP-PROOF
- The patented Headlock® design provides a level of protection worthy of the finest instruments. Your ukulele quickly straps in and remains stabilized during transport. The headstock is suspended inside the case, saving the ukulele from both side and rear impacts that could otherwise snap the neck.
- IMPACT DEFLECTION
- Integral ABS panels deliver hardcase protection at a fraction of the weight. The reinforced outer shell of the case absorbs and deflects hard impact away from the vulnerable areas of the ukulele.
- ANYTIME, ANYPLACE
- Built to be carried, the MONO Classic Tenor Ukulele Case is super light weight (48oz), and comes equipped with an adjustable, padded shoulder strap. Switch from left to right shoulder configuration using the quick release D-Flex clip. Steel riveted and reinforced, the single shoulder strap can be worn across the body as well.
- LEFT/RIGHT STRAP OPTION
- Steel rings with D-flex clip for left or right side shoulder strap configuration. Gusseted outer accessory pocket with ID slot and dual zipper enclosure. Shoulder strap with breathable liner and steel rivet reinforcement.
- WEAR IT OUT
- All MONO cases are built to military specs, using only high-test materials with extreme resistance to abrasion and the elements. Inside, the plush lining protects delicate custom finishes. Outside, the water-resistant Sharkskin™ shell keeps you on the move, rain or shine. 100% animal free.
- HYPALON SOLE & RIVETED HANDLE
- The case features a hard-wearing sole and piping made of Hypalon - the same industrial rubber used to create inflatable military rafts. This sole simply does not wear out.
- Rock solid, industrial webbing handles come standard on MONO cases. Bar-tack stitching and steel rivets reinforce for strength, while high grade webbing provides a super comfortable grip.
- LIKE A GLOVE
- These measurements represent the maximum inner capacity of the case. The MONO Classic Tenor Ukulele Case is designed for Tenor sizes. If you are unsure about the fit for your ukulele, make sure it does not exceed any of the maximum dimensions shown just to be safe.

Acoustic guitars and ukulele are made of wood, and wood is sensitive to changes in climate. Shifts in temperature or relative humidity can affect your instrument in multiple ways, some of which can lead to costly repairs if you’re not careful. Solid woods in particular are especially prone to the effects of climate fluctuation. For example, extended exposure to low relative humidity (below 40% RH) can dry out the wood, causing it to shrink and run the risk of cracking. Similarly, excessive humidity can cause the wood to absorb moisture and swell, potentially causing other problems. Without adequate humidity control (especially in drier local climates), acoustic instruments can crack and their necks can warp, causing problems with fretting, intonation and playability.
So how do you prevent this kind of damage? Easy: by keeping your guitars and ukulele properly humidified (ideally between 40-60% RH). The easiest way to do this is by storing your instruments in a case with a case two-way humidifier inside. A two-way humidifier will slowly absorb or release moisture inside your case, maintaining humidity to help ensure your instrument doesn’t suffer damage. Using a digital hygrometer can help you monitor humidity levels around your instrument.
Symptoms of a dry acoustic instrument:
- Low action. Strings are very close to the fretboard.
- Hump on the fretboard where the neck joins the body.
- Sunken top across the soundboard between bridge and fingerboard.
- The back of instrument looks very flat when it is dried out.
- Sharp fret ends extend beyond the edge of the fretboard.
- The plane of the neck angle on a dry instrument hits above the top of the bridge.
Symptoms of a wet acoustic instrument:
- High action. Strings that are unusually high off the fretboard, making it difficult to play.
- Unusually swollen top
- Unusual warp on the top, back or both at the end-block
- Improper neck angle. Sighting the neck to the bridge, the frets will appear to hit below the bridge.
The D’Addario Two-Way Humidification System
Using patented technology, the D’Addario Two-Way Humidification System features disposable, moisture-filled packets with a breathable membrane that provides two-way humidity control, meaning it can either release or absorb moisture to consistently maintain a predetermined relative humidity (RH) level of 45-50 percent.
Music Nomad Humilele Ukulele Humidifier
Music Nomad the leader in equipment care products, has developed an easy to use, no mess, and low maintenance Ukulele humidifier. The Humilele rests securely on top of the strings to safely and evenly hydrate your Ukulele to avoid these problems.
Final Notes on Humidity Control
To monitor the amount of humidity your instrument is receiving, we recommend the purchase of a digital hygrometer, a device that gauges and provides a read-out of humidity levels. It can be kept in the room where you store your instruments, or, better yet, in a central location inside the instrument case, preferably Velcro’d to the outside of the accessories compartment (facing the heel). The optimal range for your guitars and ukulele is 45-55% RH.
