Re: Gear Brand Pronounciation!

I think the consesus in the Ibanez thread was that it should be "ee-BON-yez", if going by the Spaniard pronuciation. I could be remembering that discussion wrong though.

Re: Gear Brand Pronounciation!

OK I have a one or two.

Suhr guitars - "Sir"
Driskill guitars - "Driss Kill"


I've always pronouced Ibanez as Eye Bah Nez and will continue to do so because any other way sounds goofy to me.

And the guy who said Takamine was pronounced Ta Ka Mee Nay was right, at least as far as japanese pronounciation goes.

I have, apparently, been saying D'Addario wrong since day one. Stupid me.

Re: Gear Brand Pronounciation!

I say tak-a-meen and da-darr-io, but I'm a Brit. Actually, I think my brother (who owns one) says tak-a-meen-ay, so I'm probably wrong.

Someone did a thread on pronounciation of Ibanez recently. I say eye-ban-ez!

This goes for me too apart from I don't have a brother

Re: Gear Brand Pronounciation!

Thats interesting, because I always assumed that when a "D" was set off with the apostrophe, it was pronouned like a stand alone letter, thus . . .

Dee - A dairy - oh

Edit: I just had to think about that for a second to realize its wrong.
D'Elegance is not pronounced Dee - elegance. :smack:

That's how I've always pronounced it. :burnout:

I take it you're not Italian ...

Depends on where in Italy your from varies your pronounction.
I'm an Australian who lives in a city with about 140+ nationalities, can swear in four different Indian languages! Does keep the staff on their toes at the local curry house.
Takemine; Tak-a-mine, pretty easy but I've worked for Jap companies.
D'Addario; D-A-dario, Opera you heathens! Northern Italy.
Charvel; Char-vel',(Upward inflection)
Chevrolet; Chev-Ro-Lay,but you Americans KNOW that.
Tokai; To-Ki, Japanese is a very strange!
Clough; Cluff, (My Surname, You don't say 'non-rough')
Gotoh; Go-To(h), mute the H
D'Marzio; De-Mar-Z-io

The be all and end all is as long as you can "Get want you want, you'll get what you need." Sir Mick & Keef

D'Addario: Da-dar-ee-o (but apparently it's Charvel: Char-velle
