Essential Information About the Alvarez AU90TCE Ukulele

  • Electro-acoustic tenor ukulele with cutaway for easy access to the upper frets
  • Crafted from solid figured acacia for generous projection and warm tone
  • Discreet AUE 20 EQ preamp with built-in tuner, powered by two CR2032 batteries
  • Carefully designed playing comfort: slim mahogany neck, 19 frets, and reliable tuning stability

In the Artist Elite Line: Demanding Quality and Elegance

Part of the Artist Elite series, the Alvarez AU90TCE emphasizes selected figured woods and meticulous craftsmanship. The choice of solid figured acacia gives the instrument a distinctive visual identity and a mature acoustic response. The tenor size, larger than soprano or concert, broadens the range and enhances sound presence while remaining very comfortable to play.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

Designed for intermediate to professional players, this model suits stage artists, teachers, and discerning enthusiasts. Its versatility shines in pop, folk, jazz, bossa nova, or world music, whether playing energetic strumming or nuanced fingerstyle. It handles GCEA ?reentrant? tuning or low-G tuning effortlessly to add depth.

Sound Characteristics

Solid acacia, similar to koa in character, delivers warm midrange, round lows, and soft highs. The tenor body offers excellent projection and natural sustain, ideal for arpeggios and singing melodies. The cutaway preserves resonance while facilitating agility on the upper neck. When plugged in, the AUE 20 EQ preamp faithfully reproduces the acoustic tone; the built-in tuner ensures accurate intonation on stage or in recording situations.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Choose a set of tenor GCEA strings like Aquila Nylgut to restore the original response, a tenor 26" gig bag or hard case for transport, a ukulele capo to vary keys, a quality 6.35 mm (1/4") jack cable for stage use, and a set of spare CR2032 batteries for the preamp.
