How do you pronounce
"De Boself?"
I have a student who's going to be playing it at my Halloween recital.

Hi, Erica,

I'm not Dutch, so I am only guessing, but I would say "duh BOH-zelf," as it would be pronounced if it were German (which has many similarities with the Dutch language). If anyone knows different, let us know!
