The Fender Avalon tenor ukulele is inspired by the vibrant beach community on Catalina Island in Southern California. It's the bigger brother of our best - selling Venice soprano model. A tenor ukulele offers a richer, deeper tone compared to concert or soprano sizes, yet it's still easy to carry around, whether you're heading to the beach, the studio, or a jam session. The Avalon is made entirely of basswood and has a slim 'C' - shaped neck, delivering the excellent tone and playability that Fender ukuleles are known for. Other great features include a no - tie bridge for fast and simple string changes, classic Fender color choices, and a painted 4 - in - line Strat® headstock. With this ukulele, you'll feel like you're on your own tropical island no matter your location.

Using your Fender Avalon tenor ukulele is easy. First, tune it using the open - back geared tuning machines. You can use a tuner app on your phone for accurate tuning. Start strumming gently at first to get a feel for the instrument. To change the strings, take advantage of the no - tie bridge for a quick and hassle - free process. When you're not playing, store your ukulele in a dry place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a very humid environment as this can damage the wood. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to keep it clean. Once in a while, check the frets for any signs of wear and make sure the tuning machines are working smoothly. With proper care, your Fender Avalon ukulele will give you years of great music.
