How Does One Pronounce "Dvorak," As In The Dvorak Keyboard?

d-VOR-ak, although musicians (and I) tend to say d-VOR-zhak, because of the composer with the same name.

Yeah, I subscribe to the same theory... I've never heard it pronounced Da-vor-ak.

I had good friends when I was growing up with the last name Dvorak. They said everyone in their family going back many generations pronounce it: Da-vor-ak. That doesn't mean it is correct, but that is what they call themselves.
