It's bizarre but sometimes I say "moog", other times "mogue"... Don't ask me why 'cause I simply don't know why.

Actually, I read somewhere that there's a third pronunciation of the name 'Moog':
'Mach'
from the Dutch. Seriously. But not that I would pronounce it that way...

Couldn't remember where I saw it - thanks, EEG!

LOL! You're right - I'll stick with 'Mogue' instead.
Cheers!

I wonder if Bob Moog was related to Ernst Mach if you trace things far enough back?

I say BOTH, depending on the audience (some people won't know what you mean if you use one they haven't heard). And it depends on how tired I am...

I think it should be Mogue, quite simply, because it is the correct pronunciation of a great man's name. If it were simply a made-up word for a synth production company it wouldn't matter, but that is not the case. With that in mind, Mogue it is - only cows can say Moooog because they don't know any better!
