FLUKE and FLEA ukuleles were developed by Dale Webb. Dale wanted to produce a quality ukulele for under $200. The most expensive part of building a ukulele is bending the wood, so Dale used plastic for the body. Rich sound, great projection and unique appearance have made the FLUKES and FLEAS a must have ukulele for players worldwide. The best part is they stand up on their own, you can set one on the kitchen counter, a dresser, or any other flat surface, so you can grab a FLUKE or FLEA ukulele at any time.
It all started in 1999 when Dale Webb started cooking up the plastic backs for these in his oven! The FLUKE ukulele was born!
FLUKE and FLEA ukuleles are amazing little instruments! The back is made of Injection molded ABS with fiber glass reinforcement (a type of plastic) and the fingerboard is made of Injection molded Polycarbonate, (another kind of plastic) a Rosewood fingerboard is optional. Ukuleles with the Injection molded backs are instruments that are durable and rugged. Also; They're louder, more focused, and provide greater projection than standard wood Ukuleles in their price range. They have a warm, rich sound.
