Hi,
I bought a Tanglewood Uke and I have to say it is a great instrument! It was from the cheaper end of the market a £30 one but it plays very well with a good action.
I bought a used (4 year old) Tanglewood concert uke TU-4223 in beautiful condition, not a mark on it and it came with its original strings. It sounded dead so I fitted a new set of Aquilla strings expecting great things. What a disapointment. It still sounded dead and with no resonance and no sustain. If this is the standard of uke Tanglewood produce, I would not recomend anyone buying one!
i have just bought a tanglewood TU 1 CE Soprano Cutaway uke after being very impressed when i got my tanglewood tw45 guitar. i am very happy with it and i think it sounds awesome.
Just got my first uke – a Tanglewood TU4 – yesterday.
I just start playing so I don’t really know the differences of this uke comparing to others. But I think it’s pretty good for a beginner and a moderate player. It’s not as big as a normal-sized tenor uke yet it has the potential. Love it so far.
I’ve just bought a Tanglewood TU2 Soprano uke, and it’s great! A little pricey at £89.99 but in my opinion, it was well worth it. It has a nice warm sound to it.
I just bought my first uke – Tanglewood Concert. It has an amazing sound, beautiful finish and although I am a novice, I am having so much fun with it. I’m a guitar player and have found myself drifting to the uke when the guitar playing gets a bit tough. Love it, buy it…you have to have it!!!
I bought a new Tanglewood Concert TU7 as an upgrade from my starter Uke. Big disappointment to get it home only for one of the geared tuner pegs to fall out; on investigating another of them is also loose. I can’t even screw back in as the 2 holes are too wide for the srews to grip. Really shoddy workmanship. The rest of the Uke seemded well made shame that some poor finishing and what looks like cheap screws have ruined it. It will be going back to the shop as faulty goods.
I bougth a tu3 concert and i am very happy. I want to change the strings but the instrument seems very goog. I paid around 150 euros in brazil, in a expensive store.
I bought the TU5 baritone with the hard case. The instrument sounds very good and is built well, but the strings seem way to soft. The case is also good quality and the uke is built really well. Overall i’m very happy with it.
I bought the Tanglewood TU1 soprano, and I love it! It can play surprisingly loud for such a small instrument, seems well made and looks a lot better than other ukuleles in the same price range. Also at first I had to retune it constantly, but it’s been almost two weeks now and that problem has passed. I will definitely recommend it to anyone. Plus a uke (in general) is great party entertainment!
I was at a party at my brother’s house this weekend, and these girls kept wanting me to play! 
Guys, get one!
I have a new tangle wood ukulele Tu3 model. When playing with the stock strings, the sounds is quite bad.(I give 1 star)
When I change to a better Aquila low G string , the sound transform to at least 3 stars.
The neck is straight , bridge height great…rather well constructed model. What more this is a 18 fret concert Ukulele.
Just got my first uke, a tuj-1, from the tanglewood java series. I googled it to find out that a lot a places were selling them for £170. Got mine for £125 in my local music shop.
It had aquila strings already and has a lovely sound. The strings aren’t too high and it is lovely looking. The top is a solid ‘java’ koa, i dont know the difference from normal koa and ‘java’ koa.
There’s not many reviews of this uke online since it’s part of a new range i think.
Definately recommend!!
Got something to say?
