So do you folks have an opinion of the pronunciation of Reproduco?
Is it "Re-pro-du-KO" or "Re-pro-du-SO"?

I have a friend that swears it is SO and I have always heard it KO.
Were there two companies using the two pronunciations?

 [ Art Reblitz provided this explanation at
 [ http://mmd.foxtail.com/Tech/Reproduco/reproduco1.html :
 [
 [   The Operators' Piano Company spelled out the correct pronunciation
 [   for "Reproduco" in their advertising, as follows (capitalization
 [   original): "...even he who has no technical musical skill can with
 [   the automatic devices and hand-played rolls REPRODUCE the music of
 [   great artists.  Hence the name REPRODUCO PLAYER PIPE ORGAN."
 [
 [ The pronunciation ending with "-KO" is probably from confusion with
 [ "Duco", the contraction of "DuPont Company" used as a brand name.
