How do you say "000"?

DannyP

...as in an auditorium size acoustic.

Do you say "Triple-Zero"?

"Oh, oh, oh" sounds a bit vinegar-strokes.

Tannin

It is pronounced "triple oh".

DannyP

Oh.

Tannin

And you are quite correct, it should be "zero" not "oh" but the term comes from America and if there is one thing the Americans are good at it is buggering up a perfectly good language. 

mrkb

It’s pronounced Ooooooh

enjo

Double oh, oh. The most secret spy.

Triple Zero??

or Triple Nought (as in Dreadnought)

'Triple-oh' in normal conversation, 'zero, zero, zero' if talking to air traffic control.

numbers,  when you see "them"  on the same page as OM etc - clearly the font is 0 not O

When you see 0000, though, it seems daft to say "quadruple oh". It's easier to say "oh oh oh oh".

This difficulty in communicating is the obvious explanation for why 0000 guitars are rare. Fact.

Guitars of such a size are sometimes referred to as 'small jumbos'.

nope,  wrong shape.

a "small jumbo" is as it says,  same (ish) shape as a jumbo, but smaller.  more "curvy" than a dread

My tamar is marketed as a "small jumbo"

Or 'M size'.

I always wanted one of those... Martin M-36 or M-38 I think. Never seen one second hand.
