Re: How do you pronounce "Epiphone"?

Some of my friends say it like I do, some say it like you do. Although, like you I don't think I've every heard anyone call it an Epah or Epuh for short.

I think it's one of those I say to-ma-tos, you say to-mah-tos things. As long as you don't call Nirvana, Nirvaaaaaana (with a hard A), I don't care

God I hate it when people do that.

Bear in mind that I could be dead wrong on it. I wonder how the founder said it?

"By the way, the band is called Nir-vah-na. Not Nir-vaaa-na, Nir-vah-na." - David Grohl

It was on some interview I saw. He even broke it down into cylibles like that. I only remember it because a friend of mine kept insisting it was pronounced without the "ah" sound, when we saw the interview I jumped up and down on the sofa mocking and laughing at him until he kicked my feet out and we thumped each other around for a bit.

I wonder if they try to translate it into something else ...

Re: How do you pronounce "Epiphone"?

Don't pronounce the final "e". Much like the words
'Calzone' and 'Stallone' which also do not pronounce the final 'e'.

I've had a similar pronounciation problem with the boutique Bass Cab company Epifany. It certainly looks like Eh-pif-any to me, but apparently it is Ep-eh-fahn-ee. Weird...
