The RU22BE: an iconic electro-acoustic baritone from the Regent Series

With the RU22BE, Alvarez highlights the spirit of the Regent Series: offering a reliable and musical instrument designed to last, without complicating the experience. Its choice of wood oriented towards warmth (mahogany), combined with a modified "fan" bracing, aims for a simple and effective balance between projection, dynamics, and homogeneity. This is a baritone ukulele designed to feel at ease at home, in rehearsal, recording, and on stage thanks to its integrated electro-acoustic system.

For whom and for what uses?

The Alvarez RU22BE is primarily aimed at beginners to intermediate players seeking a comfortable baritone, but it will also appeal to guitarists wanting immediate familiarization thanks to the D G B E tuning. Its deeper and enveloping register is particularly suitable for pop, folk, chanson, and fingerstyle, with excellent compatibility for vocal accompaniment. When amplified, it becomes a practical tool for performances where a natural sound is desired without complicated setup.

Sound

The solid mahogany top gives the RU22BE a soft and focused response, with a slightly muted attack and present midrange, very flattering in chords. The back and sides in African mahogany reinforce the timbre's coherence and support a pleasant sustain, particularly appreciated on a baritone. The modified "fan" bracing contributes to even projection and good clarity, even at low volume. When plugged in, the AUE20 EQ electronics with built-in tuner preserve this warm character while facilitating quick adjustments in amplified playing situations.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the most out of this format, favor baritone ukulele nylon strings designed for D G B E tuning, as well as a baritone gig bag or case suitable for a total length of 30.31" / 770 mm. For amplification, a 6.35 mm instrument cable is recommended, and keeping spare CR2032 batteries ensures autonomy for the tuner and preamp.
