Kenny Ingram Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 In the Moog Documentary, BOB MOOG HIMSELF SAYS THAT IT CAN BE SAID BOTH WAYS. I never knew that. Hmmmm. He mentioned that you're allowed to pronounce it 'm-EW-g' if you're from England, I believe. Just like if you're from the east coast you can pronounce ARP 'AAWP'.

Geoff Grace Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 An old (keyboard player) friend of mine used to say, "Mooog," "Kurtzweil," and "Alessis." I was just glad he pronounced my first name correctly! (...whichby the wayis pronounced the same as "Jeff.")

Moonglow Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Many years ago, an entertainment newspaper reporter interviewed our band and asked about the instruments we played. I told her that my ARP Omni, of course, was used to emulate string ensembles. However, the article stated that I played "A.P.R. strings." I always wondered if someone in the proof/editing department thought the reporter was trying to convey "Annual Percentage Rate." Around that time, there was this dude that worked in a local music store who pronounced Farfisa as "Far-see-ah." I was playing a Farfisa back then, as well. So from that point on everyone in my band (e.g., during sound check, load out, etc.) called them by these (incorrect) names.

Daniel Heslop Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I was thinking about how foelish it was of me to mispronounce moog. I was sitting there eating a bowl of cereal with my favorite spown. Suddenly in the light of the full moan I could see my trousers were ripped. I wanted to mend them but unfortunately I didn't have a spowl of thread. Oh well....I'll get to it sown enough, maybe I'll fix the hem tow. Anyway crazy to think a word with two o's together should be pronounced as anything but mowg Stage: Korg Krome 88.

drawback Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Actually, in Canada there's a chain of pharmacies called A-R-P (Associated Retail Pharmacists), so we always knew the synth was pronounced "ERP," eh?
