On the new USA show "Covert Affairs,"  it's the CIA agent calling them "Graah-do's", and the kid prodigy calling them "Gray-do's"  I have a feeling the show's producers don't even know how to say it correctly.  
 
A mystery that may never be solved...

what the f##k wherer did the E come from in Grado pronounciation,because some stupid star wars character pronounces in a certain way, we should follow suite.
Does not make any sense.

It should be pronounced "Gray-do".
 
volume, if you mean where did the "E" come in the pronunciation of "Gray-doh", say the letter "a" out loud. That should explain something

There is the RAH sound or not.
 
GRAH DOoo

Tomaetoe, Tomahto 

 I have always pronounced Grado like Gray-do, however. Grah-do sounds dumb lol.

 

[Drubbing]

Graydo's for the yanks, GrAdos for the rest of us.

 

[stang]

Graydo and GrAdo sounds the same lol...

I thought Grado would need to be spelled Graddo in order to be pronounced Grah-do.

As it has been mentioned before- shouldn't it be pronounced the way John and Joe Grado do (Gray-doh)? It's their family name.

Some good efforts all around, but not quite, guys. The correct way is Grah-deaú with a nasally French emphasis at the end. There, now let the matter rest.

I would have thought a headphone connoisseur would pronounce it like gr-aahhh-doh, but with the (graaaa) part rolled, like "arriiiiba!"
