I spoke with a woman from the local Dutch-Canadian Shop this morning, and this is the pronounciation she provided as well.

Well, She'd better!

Now when people ask me what I'm playing on this term's recital I won't have to say "Hindemith, Marcello, and Ko-mumble- mumble"

Just so long as you don't mumble your way through the pieces!!

As long as I have someone backstage to remind me which end of the horn to blow into, I'll probably be okay.

And if you don't, just wear some very gauche striped socks with your gown to detract attention away from the fact that you're blowing in the big end!

Does anybody know what nonsense this guy is talking about?

Perhaps it's time JB retires to a rocking chair in the old tuba players' home.

I find it amusing and worrying at the same time that people continued to vote for completely the wrong, French pronounciation after a native speaker already gave the right way to pronounce it...

Koetsier is pronounced the way it is written.
What is your problem?

Hoi Dutch
>>Koetsier is pronounced the way it is written.
>>What is your problem?

In Germany pronounced: the "oe" like u in burns and the "s" very soft.

In English, we have the word poet in which the O and the E are pronounced separately. Most Americans don't have the foggiest idea how to pronounce words from European languages.

You know the old joke:

A person who speaks three languages is trilingual.

A person who speaks two languages is bilingual.

A person who speaks one language is an American!

I actually heard a music faculty member pronounce the name, Kiester.

You've obviously never listened to an episode of "East Enders"

I happened across that really, really, awful 007 movie "Die for Another Day" and heard Dame Judi Dench say "That's not revelant". Apparently, even trained actors are not immune to metathesis and production people are ignorant enough to leave the gaffe in the final edition.
