Béla collaborated with Gold Tone president Wayne Rogers over many months and after overcoming many challenges and the building of several prototypes, the ML-1 "Missing Link" came into being.

Developed in collaboration with bluegrass master Joe Mullins, this exceptional instrument pairs vintage-inspired craftsmanship with modern innovation.
