Positioned at the heart of the Artist range, the AU66TSHB extends Alvarez?s philosophy: meticulous craftsmanship, coherent wood choices, and impeccable finishes. Its solid African mahogany top, combined with African mahogany back and sides, provides a warm sonic signature and excellent stability, while showcasing the iconic ?Shadowburst? hue.
Designed for intermediate to advanced musicians, this tenor is also well suited for guitarists looking to transition to the ukulele with a more comfortable scale length. Versatile, it excels in folk, acoustic pop, jazz, and bossa, both in strumming and fingerstyle, on stage, at home, or in recording.
The solid mahogany top delivers smooth mids and present lows, while the tenor size offers more volume and projection than a soprano or concert. The ?Single Cross Brace? bracing promotes quick attack, precise highs, and natural sustain. The mahogany neck paired with a Techwood bridge ensures good vibration transmission for a clear, balanced, and musical output.
Plan for tenor ukulele strings (standard GCEA tuning, equivalent Aquila Nylgut set), a tenor gig bag or case with an internal length of about 26.5" / 672 mm, a clip-on tuner, and a ukulele capo. These accessories guarantee protection, tuning accuracy, and versatility without compromising compatibility.
