How do you pronounce "timbre"?

[Wilba]

I got corrected today, but since there's more than one way of saying it, what's most common?

And is the "tim" in "multitimbral" a "tam" or a "tim"?

[Silverfish]

As a university music student I've received entire lectures on "tamber" and "timbre", the difference between a piece and a song, etc, etc.... *sigh*

"tamber", lol

F#ck that sh!t I talk with an Aussie accent! ;)

hehehe

Edit: Nothing against the French accent, maybe the sexiest accent around ;) Just I wouldn't expect a Frenchman to speak like Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin heheheh

[Jaicen]

I think I can say with a fair degree of certainty that the word is prononced in the french vernacular, since it is of french origin this makes a lot of sese ;)

It might have been French once, but not any more!

[French, from Old French, drum, clapperless bell, probably from Medieval Greek *timbanon, drum, from Greek tumpanon, kettledrum.]

Maybe we should say it with a Greek accent? ;)
