From Venice to Avalon: Fender's Californian Tenor
Inspired by the laid-back vibe of Catalina, the Avalon is the tenor big brother of the very popular Venice soprano. It stands as the "more body, more volume" option in the range, while retaining the distinctive Fender design and an elegant satin finish that highlights its Natural look.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Accessible to beginners as well as intermediate guitarists/ukulele players, the Avalon Tenor shines in vocal accompaniment, pop, folk, reggae, Hawaiian music, and light fingerstyle. Its longer scale length facilitates intonation and offers more space between frets, ideal for progressing comfortably.
Sound
The layered basswood top, back, and sides deliver a clear tone centered on the midrange, with soft highs and natural projection enhanced by the tenor format. The fan bracing promotes responsiveness and stability, while the walnut fingerboard ensures clear articulation. The "pull-through" bridge optimizes string-to-bridge contact for consistent sustain and efficient vibrations.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Choose a set of tenor ukulele strings (standard G-C-E-A tuning) in nylon or fluorocarbon according to your preference. Protect the instrument with a tenor-sized gig bag or case. A clip-on tuner will facilitate daily tuning, and a special ukulele capo will expand your harmonic possibilities without risk of incompatibility.
