Tanglewood Ukuleles

Ratings

Tanglewood are a British company and best known for their guitars but have recently started adding ukuleles to their collection. Their ukes are at the cheaper end of the scale; from brightly coloured ukes at around £25 to a range of solid spruce top ukes around the £100 mark.

    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!

    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.
