Paul S Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I have an ongoing disagreement with my sister as to how you pronounce this - any offers? Quote

timmo Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Ok thanks for the reply. I would also say it the same as Musky, but i only heard of the word about a month ago Quote
Paul S Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 [quote name='Musky' timestamp='1364724603' post='2029975'] Loo-thier. [/quote] But how do you pronounce that? Loo Thee er? Loo Thee aye? Or is the 'th' hard - Loo Tee aye? Quote
timmo Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 loo-the (as in theo, without the O) er is how i pronounce it Quote
BigRedX Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 It's derived from the word "Lute" that should give you a clue. Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I would say the guys who do setups and minor repairs only (sometimes attached to guitar shops) are guitar techs, not luthiers. Quote

[/quote] Since when has the English language followed any logical pattern? Yes, I say Loo Thee Err, too. My sis, whose gramma and spelling is impeccable, reckons as it is derived from French it should be 'a la Francais' and Loo Tee Aye, which seems rather daft to me. Quote

The Bass Doc Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 In the case of M D Philips the pronunciation would be Loo Tae Yer - roughly translated as Toilet To You as this also describes the standard the work one may expect. Quote
