How do you pronounce Moog?

Rhymes with "Vogue", like the magazine.

 

ive never had to say the word out loud before but if i was i would say it like "mood" but ending with a G.

 

Blackbird is right, but if you need an "official" statement to convince your friend, check here.

 

+1 ... it's what I'd always heard (and said)

 

Wait a tick, i've been living a lie?!?!

I always pronounced it like it was mood with g at the end.

 

That's how I said it until one of my professors in college corrected me. I disagreed, but it turns out he personally knew Mr. Moog. Talk about being owned.

 

Man...this is kinda hard after saying "Moo"g since I've ever read the name.



I don't like this game

 

sorry guys...for me it'll always be the sound a cow makes with a "g" on the end

 

That's okay. You'll just look like a buffoon for always being wrong.

 

Oh, okay. MAH-gyew.

 

I've always said it EMOWGAH

 

hahaha, that cracked me up! Great story! I also pronounced it like "mood" with a 'g'. My world feels crushed now. Well, slightly different.

 

Moo! Moo! Mogue!

 

I mispronounced it for so long (Moog as in moo cow) that I still slip up sometimes. My synth/MIDI class professor in school, in days long ago, pronounced it correctly, but I always thought he was out of his mind for pronouncing it that way. But he was right of course!

EDIT: that was an awesome class too. We had a few nice vintage analog synths in the lab: two Minimoogs (one of which had severe tuning problems once it warmed up), an Oberheim, a Roland Juno, an ARP 2600, and some other digital keyboards that were new at the time.

 

How about piezo

I always say pee zo

 

Me too, but apparently the correct pronunciation is Pee-arr-zo.
