Sonic warmth that defined an era

Rich, resonant, distinctive. The Tanglewood Blackbird delivers an indulgent dark warmth.

Mahogany delivers warmth and resonance in abundance, bringing you a tone you've all heard before on your favourite old-school records. And it oozes authentic class.

Made entirely with mahogany, the TWBBO delivers a punchy, earthy tone with rumbles of sonic richness. Known globally as an icon in itself, mahogany has been the sonic foundation of many famous artists. And it excels throughout blues, roots music, and slide. Explore a familiar tone with a dominant mid-range and emphasised bass. From first glance, you know the Blackbird holds the class of days gone by. And sonically, the Blackbird Folk delivers one unforgettable tone with a vintage edge. Ready to unleash?

Smooth feel, responsive nature

The Blackbird takes on a curvaceous, comfortable orchestra body. It's compact, but kicks out a delicious sonic impact. And it's perfect for a multitude of musical scenarios. Bringing you fantastic projection, volume, and definition. This is a mid-sized body that makes honing your skill and practicing new techniques a breeze.

A classic hourglass. The Tanglewood TWBBO Blackbird is shallower and narrower than a dreadnought, but beefier than a dinky parlour. Perfect for holding close to your body, and popping on your lap, the Blackbird offers the ultimate balance between playability and comfort. The orchestra shape has also been seen in the hands of the legendary Eric Clapton, and as you know, it doesn't shy away from heavier strumming and more alternative techniques too. A responsive, punchy sonic nature with sparkling highs and a renowned Tanglewood feel - you won't be disappointed.
