Hearing is a series of events in which the ear converts sound waves into electrical signals and causes nerve impulses to be sent to the brain where they are interpreted as sound.

I prefer the name of my company to be Matt Pulcinella Guitars or MPG, not Pulcinella Guitars. In other words, in an aphabetical list, it should fall under M. If I see anyone on "e-bay" selling their MPG as a "Pulcinella Guitar" I'll make sure I'm the highest bidder and then not pay for it.

Just like it sounds. Hyde as in Jekyll and Hyde, or Hyde as in the game, hide and seek (not to be mistakened with the jrockers of the same names XD).

Despite what you've read in People or heard on Oprah, it's not "Vox." It's "Vax" … rhymes with "ax" or "tax." The fact that he was born and raised in New York is just a coincidence. Any name that isn't spelled as it sounds is likely to suffer this fate; phonetic attempts produce varying results.
