[pianotech] Faulk tuning hammers

[Jim Busby]

Hi David,

Me neither. Now, is it "LEEver" or "lehver"? And what about aliquot? I'm sure I'm butchering that one. Probably spelled wrong too.

I love this business. So much to lern...

Best,
Jim

And, I forgot to mention, the pronunciation from the French would be more in keeping with uh-grahf' (French style "r").  But since there are many French words used in English that don't resemble the French pronunciation I'm not to offended by a'(as in lay)-graph.

Murky buckets.

Umm, generally that will be spelled "agrafes." That's with one "f."

That's funny. I can't imagine David having a pet peeve; I thought he liked them all equally. And just for the record, if you buy a box of staples that has any other language specifications like Spanish or French, in the French description you'll see staples called , umm, uh-graffes. Cool, eh?
