The Alvarez RU22 is a soprano ukulele from a guitar maker that applies the same design process to its ukulele line.
Watch
Why it matters
Alvarez builds ukuleles to the same house approach as its guitars, so the RU22 offers that design thinking at a low buy-in. Soprano is the traditional size and tuning, and the most portable of the family. The RU22 name covers soprano, concert and acoustic-electric versions, so the series spread is wider than a single instrument.
Note
Entry soprano from a guitar brand that also builds ukuleles to the same house standard.
