| Furthermore, even though the term "transducer" in its most | common usage is borrowed from electrical engineering, and | electrical engineers might scratch their heads in confusion | when they hear piano technicians use it about their pianos, | it is indeed the best term to apply to how the energy changes | between the soundboard and the surrounding air. We use it | knowingly and confidently. Transducers have been around for a long time. Longer, I think, than the electronics industry. So the question I have is who did the borrowing? ddf
