Al (as in Al Bundy)

Ni ( like Knee)

Co ( with a long o sound)

AL-NI-CO ???

Say it? I barely know how to spell it...I always misspell it as A-L-I-N-C-O most of the time.

Alnico ? it's just the beginning my friend ...
After you'll want to learn how to say "TDPRI" in one breath ...

a tricky one for me was Ibanez ... maybe because I'm french ... I saw a analog delay pedal for 120$ and it seemed like a Maxon but it was Ibanez. When I call the dude, an english speaking dude, he said : '' It's not a Maxon, it's a E--Ba -- Nease (like in ease or cheese). Took me 3 revolution of the brain to catch that one. My friends and I used to call this '' E --Ba -- nèz"" a phonem not found in english I think ... think of Edgar Varès ...

This is a wonderful journey my friend
