[pianotech] Pronunciation

[David Boyce]

I am of course familiar with the excellent film adaptation of Agatha 
Christie's novel Death On The Nile, starring Peter Ustinov, Mia Farrow, 
Bette Davis, David Niven etc.  But I can't think of anyone in it 
pronouncing "pipe" as "peep" instead of ryming with "ripe".  The only 
thing I can think of is that Hércule Poirot, played by Peter Ustinov, 
might have pronounced it that way, denoting a Belgian struggling to 
speak English, and pronouncing it badly.

I dunno.

Best wishes,

David.
