> I was listening to the radio today and the DJ started talking about Moog
synth's. He pronounced it as Moh -g emphasis on oh sound. Someone called in
and asked if it was correct. He said he knew beyond a doubt that he was
correct. I have always heard it as Moo - g. The cow sound Moo with a g on
the end.

I'm not sure. The way I understand it you are correct (the cow moo).
However as his wife was a school teacher the correct pronunciation became a
non-issue. Ether is correct.
