What size are the beads? 4mm? 6mm?
I'll have to dig them out and look, I bought three different sizes.

I have a lanikai with that bridge. I have been unable to keep the g and a strings from slipping when restringing so I just use one hole for those strings and tie off in the conventional manner. I always thought the use of 2 holes was for more efficient stringing at the factory.. In looking at my uke I can see that the break angle is indeed steeper using 2 holes for the string, so there may be something to the break angle thing.
I briefly owned a Lanikai 8 string which had the identical bridge with the strings tied off conventionally using 1 hole per string.
I ended up going to bridge beads (Diamond Secure Ukulele Guitar String Ties/Ukulele Beads). I found them on Amazon in both black and white.
I had a Lanikai soprano with this 8 hole bridge. I had similar issues with g and a string slippage. I ended up going to bridge beads (Diamond Secure Ukulele Guitar String Ties/Ukulele Beads). I found them on Amazon in both black and white. They're decorative enough that they look classy below the bridge. View attachment 125884
I use a set of the black colored version for my Kala tenor with a tie bridge. Linking it back to the OP question: I'm sure they would work for slot bridges, but I haven't done it. My semi-OCD quirkiness wouldn't allow me to put them on my Martins.
