Mystery Fluke Skywalker

OK, we just couldn't resist playing around in Photoshop, and then, next thing you know, we came up with the "Fluke Skywalker" ukulele!
Due to copyright restrictions, we don't think it could ever be made, but wouldn't it be cool if it were? And, hey, as the inventor of the "Fluke Skywalker" uke, we get to say, in our best Darth Vader voice: "Fluke, I am your father."
(For even more Star Wars silliness, check out the custom "C-FleaPO & R2-Flea2" model seen on our Flea Museum page.)
UPDATE: OK, we were just being goofy when we wrote all this and made up that "Fluke Skywalker" graphic, but it turns out that there really is a CD of the music from Star Wars played on the ukulele, called "Ukulele Force" which includes James Hill's cool version of that famous "Star Wars Cantina" song.

The Donovan Fluke

Well, we're not sure if this one qualifies as a true "custom Fluke," but, come on, how cool would it be to have your very own Fluke ukulele autographed by legendary psychedelic hippie folk-singing icon Donovan himself?
At a recent music festival, John Graziano played a few bars of Mellow Yellow on his Fluke for Donovan, who then returned the favor and drew a “Flukedelic” scene on his Fluke for him!

The Cool Hand Fluke

With the Oscar ceremonies on TV this weekend (2/24/08), the Fluke Museum is proud to present the latest in our ongoing series of totally silly, movie-themed ukuleles, the Cool Hand Fluke!
The incredible 1967 movie it celebrates contains one of the greatest-ever quotes in movie history: "What we've got here is... failure to communicate," but the film had no trouble at all communicating with audiences; it was a hit at the box-office, and it was a hit with the Oscars, too. Nominated for four statuettes, it won the "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar for George Kennedy's terrific performance as "Dragline."
Named as the "Sweatiest Movie Ever" by the gang at "Cheers" in that classic TV series' pilot episode, it also features a poignant scene of Paul Newman playing and singing that old folk song, "Plastic Jesus." OK, OK, maybe he's playing a banjo, not a ukulele, but, what the heck, it's Paul Newman, so we're not complaining. And, speaking of not complaining, you won't hear us complaining about the film's incredible soaking-wet car wash scene, either.
Of course, copyright restrictions would prevent the Cool Hand Fluke from ever being made in real-life, but we thought it would be fun to see what it might look like if it were.

The Legendary Original Green Celtic Fluke

Here is the legendary original Green Celtic Fluke, with its beautiful Celtic Knot designs. This special limited-edition Fluke was designed by Dan Frank for Maude's Music, and only 20 were ever produced to commemorate the very first International Ukulele Ceilidh (say: "KAY-lee"), which was a big ukulele music festival held in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, Canada, in October of 2005.
And, in the other pic, we see the brand-new Natural Celtic Fluke with the same beautiful celtic knot design, but now it's been lasered on to the surface of this beautiful limited-edition ukulele!

Beautiful Custom-Painted Fluke Ukulele Mystery

This is a beautiful custom-painted Fluke ukulele by reknowned children's book author and illustrator, Jon Buller, who writes :
I ordered a tenor Fluke ukulele by phone a few weeks ago, and when I mentioned that I intended to paint it, they offered to send the top separately. This made the painting a lot easier!
I started with a Blueberry Fluke top, which I roughed up a little bit with #600 sandpaper to provide a surface that the paint would adhere to. Then I applied a few coats of acrylic white gesso, followed by a few coats of acrylic metallic gold paint, and, finally, some acrylic black for the linework. I went over all this with a few coats of Stewart MacDonald Colortone Aerosol Guitar Lacquer in a clear satin finish, and then I sent it back to be attached to the body of the instrument."

The Amoeba Fluke Mystery

This is the limited-edition Amoeba Fluke, a custom ukulele produced for the Amoeba Record Stores of California, with the Amoeba Music logo and the words 'Peace Through Music' laser-etched on the front.
One of these very cool Fluke ukuleles was donated by the nice folks at Amoeba Music Hollywood, and was won by one very lucky young lady in Covina, CA, who made a special pledge during the Global Village Fund Drive for ukulele-friendly LA public radio station KPFK in June of 2006! •

Fluke Ukulele Mystery

The fabulous Fluke Ukulele is a major hit with ukulele players world-wide, and some folks are so enamored with their instruments that they've gone the extra mile and customized them!
The Fluke Museum is a fun collection of some fine examples of these fabulous pieces of "folk art," plus a few limited-edition Flukes, too, and if you've customized your very own Fluke (or Flea), uke, too, just let us know and we'd be honored to add it to our little collection for the whole ukulele world to see and admire.

Mexico City 2007 She's just Hanging Out

I have never before seen in an ancient sculpture a casual image of a woman just straddling her perch like that. Just holding on to her arm. Looking down at the visitors. She's just hanging out. Like some chickie in the east village. So excellent!

the Headless Guy Over the Doorway with the Face in His Belly

and finally, the headless guy over the doorway with the face in his belly. Seriously, who came up with this stuff? unfortunately, we couldn't find a sign to help explain what we were looking at, so it remains a mystery...
