Rod S Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think I learned the correct pronunciation of Moog in this forum... when I originally joined way back. Most of my fellow musicians here still say the 'oo' as in food.

Joe Muscara Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I give credit to the other two guys for supplying reasonable-sounding answers. How do they know what kinds of questions they might be asked, about early synthesis, electronic music, various players of the instrument, union approval of the instrument and players, etc.? I wouldn't have even thought to ask those questions, much less be able to answer them. I still swear I once saw an interview with Bob Moog where he said that his wife was a schoolteacher and because all the kids made fun of her name, Moooooooooooog, they changed the pronunciation to "Mogue". Maybe I dreamt it. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible! Hoo hoo!" - Daffy Duck "The good news is that once you start piano you never have to worry about getting laid again.

stoken6 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Years ago I worked opposite a Welsh colleague who explained to me that Moog was a Welsh word meaning "pig", and pronounced "Moch" (like Scottish Loch). Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analogika Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Years ago I worked opposite a Welsh colleague who explained to me that Moog was a Welsh word meaning "pig", and pronounced "Moch" (like Scottish Loch). Cheers, Mike. Apparently, the name is most common in the Western part of Germany and the adjacent part of France. One etymology I"ve found is old German âmaag' for âblood relation'. That would put its original pronunciation somewhere between 'Mogue' and 'Mawg'.
