By upgrading the traditional soprano size with \u003cb\u003eSolid Spruce and Walnut\u003c\/b\u003e, the LO-WA-S offers that familiar bubbly sound, but with clearer projection and a richer tonal palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the \u003cb\u003esolid spruce\u003c\/b\u003e top, you get a tone that only improves over time. It comes with an \u003cb\u003eexclusive, padded LongTeam gig bag\u003c\/b\u003e – a must-have for a small instrument that deserves great care. Can be supplied with a pre-installed active microphone system as an option. \u003cb\u003eThe LO-WA series is available in several popular sizes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e💡 Pro-Tip: String Changes and Bridge Pins on the LO-WA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRoos LO-WA\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow it works:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe art of tying the right knot:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Balancing Act:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTip:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Secret: Metal Beads\u003c\/b\u003e On the factory-installed strings of the LO-WA, there is a small \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"90\"\u003emetal bead\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eA good piece of advice:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Roos","offers":[{"title":"Without microphone","offer_id":45258623254718,"sku":null,"price":3300.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true},{"title":"With microphone","offer_id":45258623287486,"sku":null,"price":3800.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/8386\/3486\/files\/PXL_20251119_095656119.jpg?v=1763546545","url":"https:\/\/www.nordiskukulele.no\/en\/products\/lo-wa-sopran","provider":"Nordisk Ukulele","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
