Phyllis Webb

Phyllis Webb and her husband, Dale, formed The Magic Fluke Company in 1999.  The company began making ukuleles in the basement of their home in New Hartford, Connecticut. They were inspired and encouraged by Phyllis’s brother, Jim Beloff, an accomplished musician and guitarist who discovered the uke a few years earlier. Jim realized anyone interested in playing the uke back then had very little to choose from.  Dale set out to design a full line of ukuleles including the Fluke, which played a vital role in the world wide craze in popularity of the uke in the early 2000s.
