Since it's German I feel competent to answer that:
Toon-tsay would be pretty close I guess to the original pronunciation, but I heard Mr Tunze introduce himself in English as Mr Tunzee, so I guess they are fine with both. |

Kind of funny, I am in the hobby all alone other than RC, so when I meet someone and they talk reef, they pronounce things different than how I pronounce them in my head. I probably sound dumb when I'm pronouncing detritus, and everything else wrong. Doesn't bother me though.
