Should the pronunciation guide ever happen, this one has troubled me et al for years:

Ibanez

An expert opinion on that one has eluded me for 15 years. (I want to say it like a Spanish word – ee bah nyez.)

@jp – great story!
If you pronounce Moog as Moooog, you can come up with song titles like “In the Moog for love” and “The Moog that I’m in”.

When I called, they answered “Mack E.” Could be a rapper.

I’m curious about the brand, Mackie.

I’ve heard it various ways… MA-KEY, MAH-KEY, or just MAH-K.

Anyone know? I’m so confused.

Jeep came from GP, meaning General Purpose. folks began saying G.P. as jeep, and so when the civilian model was released… and so on…

What about “Pat Metheny”? Here in Argentina all of us pronounce “Meh-teh-nee”, but I heard some people says “Meh-thee-nee” or “Meh-see-nee”. How do you pronounce his name?

Wait, is it Kim “Bay-Singer” or Kim “Bass-in-jer?”

@jp “Mood Sympathizer” I REALLY love that!
it really connects!

@Verbos,”Behringer”
that´s really funny because lot of people in Germany actually are used to say Behringer to rhyme with ´ginger´.

Uhbik? I always pronounce it like the beginning of “ubiquitous”, ignoring the H.

Ogun, I pronounce the u like “oo” as in the figure from Yoruba myth. But then they came out with Autogun and confused the issue.
