Harry, early on I read somewhere (maybe in Down Beat) the correct pronunciation, but I can assure you that 100% of anyone who said it in my hearing rhymed it with "moon".

Then along came an excellent hockey goaltender for the Boston Bruins named Andy Moog, and all the announcers got his name right; and I haven't heard the synthesizer mispronounced since.
