Brand pronunciations

[Graham]

I was having a discussion with the wife to be the other day over the correct pronunciation of Lakland, I always assumed it was 'Lake-land' (no e, but an accent over the a) but she thought it was 'Lack-Land' and she's normally better at these sorts of things than me - anyone now the answer? Also Wal, is it pronounced like one of those things that hold a roof up or differently? My mate reckoned it was 'wahl' but that doesn't look right to me.

[JTUK]

Sei what...??

[Cosmo Valdemar]

Pretty sure it's 'lake-land'.
As for Wal, never been too sure! I know Sei is pronounced 'say', if that's any help...

[Low End Bee]

As for how Macdaddy pronounces Shuker......

[TheGreek]

With your wife on Lakland and with your mate on Wal (though I accept that it being short for Waller I am wrong)..

[LukeFRC]

wawick or war-wick
tok i or tokiay

i think we will have to get used to the fact that great deal of the things we hold onto so dearly may not be true!

Great minds and all that!

Aguilar always seems to get mispronounced. Warwick pronounced by an American always cheeses me off.

Never said this out loud to anyone, but for years I mentally read Epiphone as E-pif-onnee. Like it's a greek godess.

Wal is a contrition of Waller, so is pronounced Wol.

From Lakland's site..


[left]Q. How do you pronounce Lakland? Lake-land or Lackland?[/left]

[left][size=4][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. Lakland is pronounced Lake-land with a long first A (note the symbol over the A in our logo). The name comes from a combination of Dan Lakin and original partner Hugh McFarland. LAKin plus mcfarLAND equals Lakland.[/font][/color][/size][/left]

It's Lake-land - see [url="http://www.lakland.com/faq.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/faq.htm[/url]

And it's Agg-wee-larr isn't it? Emphasis on the wee.

Epifani...Epi-fah-nee,not epiphany.

Not a pronunciation,but it always annoys me when I see/hear 'David Eden amps'. No! It's Eden.
'David' is the model of cabinet they make.

+1 for Wal rhyming with doll. As billyapple says, it is a derivative of the manufacturers name Waller so it figures.

[SteveK]

Heard many times Les Paul pronounced as if it's French for The Paul.

[BILL POSTERS]

So is Hartke.

[i]Hartk, Hart K, Hart, Hark, Hartkey ???[/i]

As for Warwick, I guess if you English its Warwick, if your American its Waar wick.

[toneknob]

Tack A Meeny. Not Take Mine.

[flyfisher]

It's all just a matter of em-fasis.

Pretty sure it's Hartkey

As Warwick is German maybe it should be Varvick?

[skankdelvar]

Worrick.

Anything else is just plain wrong.
