Evil Saxophones or ...

... Google Translate fail. I especially like the "potential/lover" part.

lol. You do know that Übel translates correctly as evil (n) or nasty/objectionable as an adjective. Always makes me laugh. Especially as their clarinets, pre WWII were some of the best around.

And another - Schimmel, big piano maker - mould/fungus....

And then there's the well known plane maker from WWI, Fokker, but I'll let you translate that yourself (clue - he was dutch, not german).

Reminds me of the punch line of an old joke: "But dese Fokkers vas flying Messerschmidts."

I don't know Pete, looks pretty good to me... But then I don't read German. ;-)

Thank you Kev, that was a great explaination. Although I do like the Google version, it was such an epic fail...
