Tanglewood TWT20 Tiare Baritone Electro-Acoustic Ukulele, Ebony

An all-ebony baritone ukulele with a pickup built in

The Tanglewood TWT20 is a baritone ukulele from the Tiare range, made with ebony for the top, back and sides. If you want a bigger, deeper instrument than a standard ukulele, this is an electro acoustic baritone ukulele that you can play at home or plug in on stage.

Ebony body, baritone voice

Ebony is a dense, dark wood, and using it all the way round the body gives the TWT20 a bright, clear voice with long sustain. The baritone size adds depth in the low notes, so chords sound full and single notes stay well defined. It is strung with Aquila Nylgut strings, which keep the tone smooth and even.

The natural satin finish lets the dark figuring of the ebony show. A laser-cut Tiare rosette around the soundhole adds a neat decorative detail.

Neck and playability

The slim mahogany neck carries an eboncore fingerboard. The longer baritone scale gives your fingers more room, and the slim profile makes moving between chords and melody lines easy. Chrome die-cast tuners hold their pitch and turn smoothly.

Plug in when you need to

The TEQ-TUT electronics give you an onboard tuner as well as the pickup system, so you can tune quietly and then play through an amp or PA. That makes the TWT20 a practical choice for gigs, open mics and band rehearsals.

• Baritone body with solid low-end response
• Ebony top, back and sides
• Eboncore fingerboard and slim mahogany neck
• Aquila Nylgut strings and chrome die-cast tuners
• TEQ-TUT electronics for amplified playing

If you play guitar and fancy something smaller and more portable, the baritone tuning feels familiar, which makes this a natural second instrument. It suits songwriters, accompanists and anyone who wants a ukulele that sounds bigger than it looks. Compare it with other baritone models in the Tiare range if you would like a different wood or finish.
