Overview
The Tanglewood Tiare TWT1 soprano ukulele is a charming introduction to the world of ukuleles, crafted with the quality and attention to detail that Tanglewood instruments are known for. With its compact soprano body, the TWT1 captures the joyful, traditional sound that has made the ukulele beloved worldwide — bright, lively, and instantly uplifting.
Constructed entirely from mahogany, the TWT1 produces a warm, balanced tone with a cheerful top-end sparkle. Mahogany’s natural resonance enhances projection and sustain, giving this small instrument a surprisingly full voice for its size. The satin finish allows the natural grain of the wood to shine through, adding to the instrument’s organic charm while keeping the feel smooth and comfortable in the hands.
Playability is a key strength of the TWT1. The slim mahogany neck ensures stability and comfort, while the Eboncore fingerboard provides a sleek playing surface for both beginners and experienced players.

Visually, the TWT1 maintains a simple yet refined aesthetic. The natural satin finish is complemented by subtle white dot fret markers and a laser-cut Tiare rosette, adding just the right amount of detail without overwhelming the ukulele’s understated beauty.
Lightweight, responsive, and effortlessly fun, the TWT1 embodies the true spirit of the ukulele. Whether you’re picking up the instrument for the first time or adding a soprano to your collection, this model delivers an inviting balance of playability, tone, and style that makes music-making feel natural and inspiring.
