I know this isn't the usual type of question you get asked on here, but I figure I should really know this since I own one.
How do you pronounce the word Feinwerkbau
At the moment I say it like Fine-werk-bow (as in bow down for the queen). Is that correct?

The German pronunciation would be "Fine verk bow"
So, "Fein" becomes "Fine", "werk" becomes "verk", "bau" becomes bow as you figured the "bau" would be pronounced. Werk is pronounced like "vAIRk" for simplicity's sake.
