Members tartanphantom Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 The word "piezo" is Italian, the same as the word "Scherzo." The word Scherzo is pronounced "skert so." The word "piezo" is pronounced "peet so." That is how we pronounced it when I took Electronics back in the 60's. Check the old Allied Dictionary (I don't have a copy right now). THIS.

Members _pete_ Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 Paul Reed Smith pronounces it "pie-zo". If that's good enough for him, it's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jerry_picker Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 It is Italian so it is likely Pee-ay-so It is not Italian. The word is derived from the Greek piezo(n) or piezein, which means to squeeze or press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Guitar_stringer Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 I pronounce it Pie Zo, but I hear it pronounced Pee Ay Zo too. I know what is meant, so it's all good. From the Greek: piezein, to press tight, squeeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
