I am just going to take a stab at this one... cor is most likely Kore, while the beau is most likely pronounced like in the word beauty... So, Kore-bue seets is my take...

Corbeau is actually a French word. It means Raven. I have no idea where the company took their name from, but it should be pronounced "CORBO", as simple as that. I am French, and that's how we say it.

My last name is Beaudoin and I pronounce it as "Bow-doyne" It is a French Name! Means Beautiful![sm=grinangel.gif] LOL
If you are speaking French and pronounce it in the "French" sense then you would say "Bow-dwa" same with Corbeau being"Cor-bwa"

Also CORBO works fine but I found out that for some reason you guys have a hard time spelling it when it's written like that.

My first language is french (corbeau is french) and that is the right way to spell it.

Jt, Doomtroop and Maldoror are both correct. "Corbo" I studied French in East L.A. College. Yes, I drop the course in two days!
