About Alvarez
Established in 1965 by major US instrument distributor St. Louis Music, Alvarez teamed up with master luthier Kazuo Yairi with the aim of producing the finest guitars in the world.
The success of Alvarez-Yairi guitars helped put the brand on the market, and are still handmade in Kani, Japan to this day. In the decades that followed, Alvarez significantly expanded their operation, and now produce one of the most extensive and diverse ranges of acoustic instruments in the world.
Ranging from affordable entry-level to world-class handmade instruments, Alvarez have got everything covered. Their instruments have been used by the likes of Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney, Carlos Santana, Ani DiFranco and many more – they’re obviously doing something right!
The Ukulele Design
Originally from Hawaii, Ukuleles have experienced something of a resurgence in recent years. Famed for their distinctive chirpy sound and accessible form-factor, they’re more popular than ever. They’re often found with nylon strings and an extremely compact size that allows it to be easily transported.
Combining modern manufacture techniques with unique tonewood treatments, Alvarez Ukuleles strike the perfect balance between precision and fun. Expect a soft, charming tone and an instrument that’s as easy to play as it is to take on your next road trip!
Here's What Alvarez Say About Their Artist Series Ukuleles
Alvarez Ukuleles have been carefully designed to deliver an open sounding and responsive instrument with good projection, volume and fine tone.
All Alvarez ukes are constructed with a dovetail neck joint for optimal strength and transfer of energy between the neck and body. The bracing design is a modification on traditional fan style braces to optimize response. The response is also aided by a solid “slotted” rosewood bridge, which enhances projection and helps to make string changes easier and quicker.
Other appointments and features include quality-seasoned tonewoods, real bone nut and saddles, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and premium tuners.
Alvarez Artist ukuleles are lively and sophisticated and deliver exceptional player experience.
