Hi Everybody! I'm Mike, from Colorado, aka "Rockymtnlion".

I'm a guitar player who just bought his first ukulele. There seems to be very little info out there about Beltone, (not Belltone), especially ukuleles. Beltone.com is all about hearing aids. Does anybody have more info on this little beauty? History? Value?Thanks in advance for any info!

Welcome to UU, Mike. You might want to check out Lardy's Ukulele database. http://www.ukulelecorner.co.uk/b
There isn't a lot of information, but some for models from the 1920-30 era, and another link to 1960's Beltone (Japan) page comes up as "not found." Many knowledgeable folks here on UU might be able to offer you some insight into your uke.

Welcome to UU, Mike aka Rockymtnlion!
I can't help you with your question, but I can tell you that i do like the looks of that old Beltone!

Thank you Ms Bean! Yea, I think it looks great considering I think it could be closing in on 100 years old. I'm glad I found this site.
