How to pronounce Mehlenbacher?

Mel-in-ba-ker
All vowels are short ( Mel as in MELon; en as ENter the house; ba as the BAH sound a lamb makes; ker as in handKERchief) and there is really no syllable with more emphasis than others. The two most often mis-pronounced syllables are the ba which should be pronounced the way sheep make the bah sound and immediately followed by the hard K as in handKERcheif for cher. (That is, NOT as in a “baker” who makes cakes; NOT as to put a car in reverse to “back” it up; NOT to have the above mentioned baker make a “batch” of said cakes.)
