The Alvarez Artist Series: A Premium, Musician-Oriented Approach
With the Artist series, Alvarez focuses on consistent wood choices, reliable construction, and demanding finishes to offer an inspiring instrument for daily use and performance. The AU66CCESHB embodies this philosophy with a "Shadowburst" aesthetic that highlights the mahogany grain and a design aimed at retaining acoustic warmth while remaining perfectly usable when amplified.
An Electro-Acoustic Concert Ukulele Designed to Play Anywhere
This model is especially suited for intermediate to advanced musicians, as well as guitarists seeking immediate familiarity in a Concert format (balance between compactness, comfort, and sound breadth). It is well-suited for pop, folk, chanson, bossa, and fingerstyle. In rehearsal, studio, or on stage, the built-in tuner and preamplified output make it a ready-to-play ukulele without hassle.
Sound
The combination of African mahogany (solid top, back, and sides) favors a warm and singing tone: round lows, present mids, and clear highs without harshness. The solid top enhances sensitivity to playing nuances and promotes sound opening over time. The Single Cross Brace supports the top and strengthens projection, while the Techwood bridge helps efficiently transmit vibrations. Plugged in, the Alvarez AUE20 preamp maintains good clarity and precise attack, ideal for chord playing as well as melodic lines.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of this ukulele, choose a set of Concert ukulele strings (same dimensions as the original Nylgut strings) and a gig bag or case in Concert size to protect the gloss finish during transport. For the electronics and tuner, also have 2 spare CR2032 batteries on hand to stay worry-free before rehearsals or concerts.
