Essential Information About the Alvarez RU22BE Baritone Ukulele

  • Solid mahogany top for rich projection and the typical warmth of mahogany.
  • Baritone format (tuning D?G?B?E) close to the feel of a small guitar, ideal for vocals and accompaniment.
  • AUE20 electronics with built-in tuner: plug in, tune, and play with ease.
  • Playing comfort thanks to the profiled neck, satin finish, and bone nuts.

The RU22BE in the Regent Series: The Accessible Alvarez Spirit

Part of the "Regent" series, the RU22BE embodies Alvarez?s philosophy: offering carefully crafted and reliable lutherie at a controlled price. Its selected mahogany, modified ?fan? bracing, and clean finishes make it a baritone electro-acoustic ready for home, studio, and stage use, without compromise on stability or longevity.

For Whom and For What Uses?

Perfect for beginners to intermediate players, the RU22BE will also appeal to guitarists seeking a ukulele with a wider feel. Its deep and enveloping register suits folk, pop, chanson, and fingerstyle styles. The baritone D?G?B?E tuning facilitates chord transfers from guitar while maintaining the ukulele?s gentle soul.

Sound Characteristics

The solid mahogany top delivers creamy mids and a soft attack, while the mahogany back and sides extend sustain. The modified ?fan? bracing balances response and projection, offering precise dynamics even at low volume. Plugged in, the AUE20 preamp?s EQ faithfully reproduces this warm tone, providing a natural and consistent sound between acoustic and amplified playing.
