In English, "ch" is like in the word "chair".  The "ch" in Bach is more of a 
sound made in the back of the throat (please excuse my lack of technical 
terms here) where the "ch" in chair is more at the front of the mouth.

Uh-oh. Is that not roughly the same as the <ch> at the end of German
<bach>? If so, that was originally represented as <x>, which Ryan
suggests be altered to <kh>. I only ask because I don't know Dutch,
and the "het" in <hadash> varies between the Yiddish- and
Arabic-flavored dialects of Hebrew...
