NEW!!! November 2018 - Flea MANDOLIN!

Mandolin Flea now available and ready for ordering. Four steel strings tuned GDAE, hardwood fretboard, arched spruce top with floating bridge. The same lightness and easy play-ability as the Flea ukulele but with the loud, bright sound and sustain of a mandolin.

Timber Bass

Sets a new standard for short scale, solid body, electric basses: versatile, portable, standard bass tuning, EADG. Metal wound strings give it a feel and sound of a full size bass guitar. Also available as a Baritone with DGBE tuning.

“I picked up a walnut Firefly a couple of months ago. I am in love with that thing. I keep it at my side. I've started taking it to old time jams. So cute, so punchy, so light, so good.”

“I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy my Flea. I just bought a very expensive custom Boat Paddle ukulele which I have tried to love but I keep coming back to my concert Flea.”

“Wow!! I received the Firefly yesterday. It is beautiful! What craftsmanship! I couldn't hope for a better looking uke. Sounds great. First song played.... George Forby's “With My Little Ukulele in my Hand“.”

“I want to express my happiness with the job you did on this instrument. It looks beautiful and with the low G La Bella strings it has a beautiful and mellow sound that is literally music to my ears.”

Custom Capabilities

Here at Magic Fluke we build each instrument to order, meaning there are endless opportunities to customize your instrument along the way. We offer full color dye-sublimation of your art (or you may choose to hand paint your own) and laser cutting and engraving. We use our Epilog 50 watt laser machine for everything from zapping out soundboards and fret-boards, to custom logos and designs. The custom possibilities are endless with this tool. We are also open to modifying our existing parts to create completely custom instruments. Feel free to contact us.

In the Shop

We build all of our instruments right here in southern Berkshire County, and we invite anyone to stop in to see the operation, browse our retail hallway, and test drive our instruments.
