"Savall" is a relatively obscure noun that refers to a type of medieval French musical instrument. Despite its rarity, the pronunciation of the word is actually quite straightforward. Using IPA phonetic transcription, it can be spelled as /səˈvæl/. The emphasis is placed on the second syllable, with the first syllable being pronounced as an unstressed schwa sound. The word's final consonant is a voiceless fricative "l" sound, which is pronounced by blowing air through the throat while the tongue is pressed against the ridge behind the teeth.
