The concert-sized RU22CCE ukulele from Alvarez has been carefully designed to deliver an open, responsive instrument with good projection, clear volume and fine tone. All Alvarez ukes are constructed with a dovetail neck joint for optimal strength and transfer of energy between the neck and body. The bracing design is a modification on traditional fan style braces to optimize response, which is also aided by a solid “slotted” techwood bridge that also enhances projection and makes string changes quick and easy. Additional features include a mahogany top, real bone nut and saddles, a mahogany neck, techwood fingerboard and premium tuners.
