I am looking to replace the plastic pins on a Lanikai LK-1C. I guess this ukulele is basically the Kanile'a K1-C, so whatever would work for that one should work for the Lanikai. I am seeing that people are complaining that replacement pins are too big but I am thinking that somebody must make them for the ukulele concert... I am not looking to do any additional reaming of the bridge pin holes... TIA
 
I got some cool snakewood ones from Stewart MacDonald. They make a few different sizes, but I doubt you'll need the large ones.

If you get a set and they're too big, you can sand them down. The ones I got were actually too small for my KoAloha, so I covered them in a thin layer of surfboard wax. Now they grip properly and smell delicious!
 
A friend of mine uses violin peg dope on his guitar bridge pins. Not tried it myself... interesting idea.
