I was curious about the proper pronunciation of the name Kay for Kay basses?
Is it the American female name of Kay (ay pronounced as a long A sound like hay) or the German male name of Kay (ay pronounced as a long I like hi)?

It's been getting weird around here lately, but this is beyond anything I can even imagine.

| | | | Assuming you speak English, and have learned the alphabet. "Kay" is pronounced like the 11th letter of the alphabet.
Gosh. |

| | | | Spelt backwards it would be pronounced 'yak' (jək), is this relevant?
