A Soprano Ukulele for Beginners and Travellers

If you are looking for a ukulele that is small, light and simple to pick up, the Tiare Soprano series is a sensible place to begin. Right now it holds one instrument, the Tanglewood TWT1 Ukulele, priced at £69. That makes it the most affordable way into the Tiare family.

What is a soprano ukulele?

Soprano is the original ukulele size. It has the shortest scale length of the four common sizes, so the frets sit close together and the whole instrument feels compact in the hands. The sound is bright and sweet, which is the tone most people picture when they think of a ukulele. It is a good size for children, for adults with smaller hands and for anyone who wants an instrument to throw in a bag.

The TWT1 in detail

The TWT1 is built with a mahogany top. Mahogany tends to give a warm, slightly rounded voice that takes the edge off a small body, and it suits strummed chords and simple fingerpicking equally well. It is a plain acoustic, with no pickup, which keeps the price down and keeps the instrument light.

Choosing your size

Soprano is not the only option. Many players move up to a bigger body once they want more room on the fretboard or a fuller sound. If that sounds like you, look at the Tanglewood Tiare Concert range, or the larger Tanglewood Tiare Tenor models. For the deepest voice, see the Tanglewood Tiare Baritone series.

You can compare every size on our main Ukuleles page. If you plan to plug in on stage, our Electro-Acoustic Ukuleles have a built in pickup, though they sit at a higher price than this simple soprano.

Who is it for?

The TWT1 suits a first-time player, a gift for a child who wants to learn, or a second ukulele that lives in the car or the holiday suitcase. At £69 it is a low-risk purchase, and the soprano shape is the one most beginner songbooks and lesson videos assume you are using.
