Flea Market Music

Flea Market Music was founded in 1992 by Jim Beloff and his wife, Liz Beloff, to publish music books for the ukulele community.^[2][3] A guitarist for many years, Jim bought a used Martin ukulele at a flea market and later left his job with Billboard Magazine to make a full-time career of promoting the ukulele.^[4][5]The company name combines the meaning of ukulele in Hawaiian, 'jumping flea', and the purchase of Beloff's first ukulele at the Rose Bowl Flea Market.^[6]

Flea Market Music has published a wide variety of ukulele instructional books (distributed by the Hal Leonard Corporation) and DVDs as well as CDs of recorded ukulele music.^[6] As of May 2002, over 600,000 books have been sold. The company's products are sold through retail and online.^[7]

Beloff and his wife, Liz, perform and give workshops at festivals and other musical events to promote ukuleles and the Flea Market Music products.^[8] In 2014 they were guests on a WNPR radio show with ukulelist Jake Shimabukuro, discussing ukuleles and ukulele music.^[9]
