The correct spelling is "Lauan"

Posts: 5176 Threads: 188

Hello. I did the same thing as many people do when it comes to talking about the splintery wood that many Asian-made stencil kits are built from -that is, I spelled it wrong.

The correct spelling is officially:

LAUAN

But, how do you pronounce it?

There should be several posts like this posted on craigslists across the country.

The correct spelling is "cymbal"

The correct spelling is "bass drum"

The correct spelling is "snare"

The correct spelling is "rhythm"

The correct spelling is "Zildjian"

...etc...etc...etc...

You're not eating the sky fruit, are ya?

You are correct, my man. I have always misspelled this one. I honestly don't know why. It's like a cross between "Laos" and "Taiwan" I guess. Plays with my brain.

These are rarely grown in the Asian areas ... which is odd because that's where the drums come from. Where do they grow? S.Am, Cent.Am, Hawaii, and cool places like that. What the heck?! Why don't the Brazilians or Floridians get into the cheapo drum market of today? It blows my mind how we can bow our heads and roll over to allow another country rule and ruin a perfectly cool thing...drum making.

Sorry. Didn't see that soap box there. I'm off.

Pretty sure it's pronounced "lew-on". Like those cheapie interior doors you can practically push your hand through. I'd imagine a tube-shaped item (a drum) would have more structural integrity, though.
