LO-WA - Soprano

🌟 Roos LO-WA Soprano Ukulele: Classic Sound, Luxuriously Refined!

Meet the Roos LO-WA Soprano, the most articulate and resonant model in our classic series. By upgrading the traditional soprano size with Solid Spruce and Walnut, the LO-WA-S offers that familiar bubbly sound, but with clearer projection and a richer tonal palette.

Thanks to the solid spruce top, you get a tone that only improves over time. It comes with an exclusive, padded LongTeam gig bag – a must-have for a small instrument that deserves great care. Can be supplied with a pre-installed active microphone system as an option. The LO-WA series is available in several popular sizes.

💡 Pro-Tip: String Changes and Bridge Pins on the LO-WA

Roos LO-WA uses bridge pins to secure the strings – a solution common on exclusive acoustic guitars, but a bit rarer on ukuleles. This gives the instrument a clean and stylish look, but it requires understanding how the mechanism works.

How it works: Instead of tying the string around the bridge itself, it is held in place under the top with a knot. A bridge pin is then pressed into the hole to lock the string and knot against the inside of the top.

The art of tying the right knot: Unlike steel strings on a guitar, which almost always have a pre-made metal ball end, you'll need to tie this knot yourself on a ukulele's nylon strings.

• The Balancing Act: The knot must be large enough to hold fast under the top, but at the same time not so large that you can't push the string and knot down through the hole during installation.

• Tip: It's perfectly normal for a newly installed string to "pop out" the first time you tune it up. It often takes a couple of attempts before the knot sits perfectly.

The Secret: Metal Beads On the factory-installed strings of the LO-WA, there is a small metal bead that acts as an artificial "ball end". By using this bead, you don't need to tie a large knot, which makes installation much easier.

A good piece of advice: Keep these metal beads when you change strings! You can easily thread them onto your new strings and reuse them. It makes the next string change both quicker and safer.
