El-e-craft of course but I'd pronounce the "a" as in "star", not as in
"stack"

The Queen's version of the pronunciation might be something like this:
Elecraft (eleˈcrɑːft).

Still doesn't help us hicks who talk with strange accents. How about
posting a wav file on the company web site? We could listen to it on our
epods and practice the correct pronunciation while taking the bus to
work! Hey... epod - now there's an interesting product idea!

Heh, heh
>From whatever parts, in whatever dialect, the "Ele" is pronounced exactly
like the "Ele" in elegant and "craft" is pronounced exactly like "craft".
Of course that does not mean it sounds the same everywhere :-)

Phil, I think you have the right pronunciation.
I've always heard it pronounced with three syllables, as if it were formed
from the concatenation of "ele" from "elegant" and "craft" from
"craftsmanship".
I've talked with the founders, and whenever I've heard them say "Elecraft",
it's always with
'Ele' as in 'Ele-gant' + 'craft'.

Simple.
The proper pronunciation has always been right on the Home Page of the
Elecraft website:
"How do you say Elecraft?Ele (as in "Elegant") + Craft."

Us hillbillies call it Eller-Craf.
But I believe it's Ella-Craft.
