Egil Storbekken (25 November 1911 – 19 March 2002) was a Norwegian folk musician, composer and instrument maker. He was born in Tolga, Hedmark. Storbekken is particularly known for his development of the tussefløyte, a Norwegian version of the recorder. His radio debut with this instrument came in 1952. Notable among his compositions is the well received "Fjelltrall" from 1960.[1][2]
