A baritone ukulele with built in electronics

The Tiare Baritone series is a single model, the Tanglewood TWT 20 electro-acoustic ukulele, at £169. A baritone is the largest of the common ukulele sizes, and it gives a deeper, fuller voice than the smaller types. If the usual ukulele feels too small or too bright for you, this is worth a look.

What makes a baritone different

Most ukuleles are tuned like the top four strings of a guitar but higher, whereas a baritone is tuned lower and feels closer to a guitar. That makes it a friendly bridge for guitarists who want a ukulele without learning a new set of shapes. The longer body also gives more room for larger hands.

The TWT 20 has an ebony top and electro-acoustic electronics, so you can plug it into an amp or PA for small gigs and open mic nights without borrowing a microphone. Its shape is baritone, and that is the main reason to choose it over smaller models.

Things to consider

  • Tone: deeper and warmer than a concert or tenor.
  • Plugging in: useful if you perform or record.
  • Budget: £169 puts it in the middle of our range.

Other ukulele sizes

Compare it with the Tiare Concert range, which starts at £89, or the Tiare Tenor and Tiare Soprano series. Our main ukuleles page shows every size, and the electro-acoustic ukuleles page collects the amplified models together.

A good gig bag and a clip on tuner are sensible extras. You can read the full details on the TWT 20 page. Free UK delivery.

Who the TWT 20 suits

This ukulele is a good match for guitarists, for players with larger hands, and for anyone who wants a lower pitched instrument that still looks and feels like a ukulele. It is also a practical choice for performers, since the electronics mean you can use it on stage or at an open mic without extra equipment beyond a lead and an amp. Because the series has only one model, there is no confusion about which to pick. If you decide a baritone is not for you, the other Tiare sizes are only a click away, and each page lists its own price and details.
