Avalon: The Californian Spirit in the Fender Range
Named after the city of Avalon on Catalina Island, this model transfers Fender's "beach and sun" DNA into a tenor ukulele, the big brother of the very popular Venice soprano. It stands as the broader and more expressive option in the series, ideal for those who want an easy-to-live-with instrument with a strong Fender identity.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Perfect for motivated beginners as well as intermediate players, the Avalon Tenor suits pop, folk, and reggae accompaniment, as well as more nuanced fingerpicking. Its 17" / 432 mm scale length offers comfortable tension and stable tuning, useful for learning, stage, and mobile studio use.
Sound
The layered basswood delivers a clear and even response, with singing mids and more present lows than soprano or concert formats. The fan bracing supports projection and sustain, while the tenor format opens up dynamics without losing definition. The combination of nato neck, walnut fingerboard, and flat radius promotes note and arpeggio articulation, with precise attack and good chord hold.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of it, equip it with a set of tenor ukulele strings (standard GCEA tuning) in nylon or fluorocarbon, a tenor 26" gig bag or hard case for transport, and a clip-on chromatic tuner. A dedicated ukulele capo will effortlessly fit the flat fingerboard radius.
