The Tanglewood Tiare TWT8E concert ukulele combines the natural beauty and tonal charm of Koa with the performance-ready flexibility of onboard electronics. Designed for musicians who want their ukulele to shine both acoustically and when amplified, this model delivers a warm, articulate voice and elegant style in equal measure.

Crafted entirely from Koa on the top, back, and sides, the TWT8E offers a tone that is bright, lively, and balanced with a gentle warmth. Koa’s tonal qualities are renowned for producing sparkling highs and a rich midrange that only improves with time and play. The concert body size enhances projection and depth while maintaining the ukulele’s signature lightness and cheerfulness. With premium Aquila strings, the TWT8E responds effortlessly, whether strummed energetically or played with delicate fingerpicking.

For performers, the addition of Tanglewood’s TEQ-TUT electronics makes this model an excellent choice on stage or in the studio. The pickup system ensures that the ukulele’s natural acoustic character is faithfully translated when amplified, giving players confidence in any performance setting.
Visually, the TWT8E is striking yet refined. The Koa’s shimmering grain patterns are showcased under a smooth satin finish, while the maple and mahogany rosette adds a subtle decorative touch. Chrome die-cast tuners provide reliable accuracy, and the slim mahogany neck with an Eboncore fingerboard ensures smooth, comfortable playability.

The TWT8E is designed for musicians who want to carry the joyful spirit of the ukulele into live performance. Blending exotic tonewoods, reliable electronics, and elegant presentation, it is a versatile and inspiring instrument that will stand out wherever you play.
