| 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?
