💡 Pro-tip: String changes and bridge pins on LO-MA
Roos LO-MA uses bridge pins to secure the strings – a common solution on exclusive acoustic guitars, but a bit rarer on ukuleles. This gives the instrument a clean and stylish look, but it requires an understanding of 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 the 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 must tie this knot yourself on the ukulele's nylon strings.
-
The balancing act: The knot must be large enough to stay put 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 completely normal for a newly installed string to "pop out" the first time you tune it up. It often takes a couple of tries for the knot to sit perfectly.
The secret: Metal beads The factory-installed strings on the LO-MA have 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. This makes the next string change both quicker and safer.

The Roos LO-MA baritone ukulele represents a new chapter for our beloved LO-MA series, now in an impressively larger format. This updated model is the result of our continuous efforts to improve our instruments, offering an even more refined and rewarding playing experience.
A Traditional Sound, Now with a Deeper Register and Upgraded Details:
The heart of the LO-MA is its mahogany construction, a wood known for its warm, rich, and well-balanced tone. The baritone size provides a deeper, more guitar-like sound, which is ideal for those seeking a fuller expression or transitioning from guitar playing. This baritone ukulele now comes with a solid pin bridge. This modern upgrade not only ensures more stable string contact and easier string changes but can also contribute to increased sustain and resonance.
Exceptional Intonation and Playability:
The LO-MA baritone is designed for immediate playability. It features comfortable string action and a stable neck that provides exceptionally good intonation across the entire fretboard. You can literally take it out of the box, tune it, and start playing – a reliable and enjoyable musical experience for all levels.
A Ukulele to Grow With:
This Roos ukulele is excellent both as your first ukulele and for those who wish to step up to a more durable instrument. It is constructed to be a quality ukulele that you can grow with, and that delivers stable performance whether you are a beginner or have been playing for a while.
Craftsmanship and Materials in Focus:
Similar to our bestseller Roos Troll, we have placed great emphasis on good craftsmanship and material selection in the production of the LO series. We prioritize functionality and acoustic properties over superficial ornamentation and embellishments. The result is an aesthetically pleasing and attractive model that is built to last.
Important Information (Bag):
Please note that the Roos LO-MA baritone ukulele is delivered without a bag. This is due to temporary challenges in sourcing suitable bags for this size. Bags can be purchased separately.
