Basswood... That's the secret! Inspired by the beach community on Catalina Island in Southern California, the Avalon tenor ukulele is the larger sibling to the popular Venice soprano model. A tenor ukulele gives the player a deeper tonal register than a concert or soprano body size, while still maintaining the portability to travel easily from the beach to the studio or jam room. The Avalon's all-basswood construction and slim "C"-shaped neck profile, provide the superior tone and playability that is a hallmark of Fender ukuleles. Other features include a no-tie bridge for quick, easy string changes, classic Fender color options and painted 4-in-line headstock. With the Avalon ukulele, you can be transported to your own island no matter where you are. • MFSKU 0970450503 • UPC 717669535216
