The RU22B is part of the ?Regent? series, designed to provide access to Alvarez quality with reliable construction and an elegant satin finish. This baritone emphasizes playability and tuning consistency while maintaining a sober and durable aesthetic to support both learning and daily practice.
Designed for beginners and intermediate players, the RU22B is also suitable for guitarists looking to switch to ukulele without changing their familiar tuning thanks to the ?D-G-B-E? tuning. Its low register favors vocal accompaniment, folk, pop, fingerpicking, and solo arrangements requiring warmth, foundation, and clarity in the bass lines.
The laminated mahogany top, back, and sides deliver a round, warm, and balanced tone, with rich lows and singing mids. The larger body volume of a baritone enhances projection and presence, while the 20.08" / 510 mm scale length provides tension and definition for natural sustain. The satin finish allows the body to breathe and promotes a quick response under the fingers, whether playing with the thumb, soft strumming, or precise arpeggios.
To get the best out of the RU22B, choose a set of baritone strings tuned ?D-G-B-E? (nylon or fluorocarbon depending on your touch), a chromatic clip-on tuner, a baritone ukulele capo to vary keys, and a hard case for 30" / 762 mm baritone ukulele if you want enhanced protection beyond the included gig bag.
