According to www.dictionary.com:

pahy-ee-zoh

It's spelled piezo, but it's pronounced "Throat Warbler Mangrove".

I think the uber technically correct way is "pee YAY dzo", but i always say "PIE zo". No one has laughed at me yet. But then again, most conversations i have about gear will at some point lead to me being the recipient of a snickerish look - you know, the kind that happens when talking to a 4 year old when you're thinking, "Isn't that cute - he's trying to talk with us grown ups!"

I also say "REE verb", or "verb squared" when among more geekish folk...

Edited to add: I could be wrong, but i think piezo is Italian for "it's pronounced piezo"

I saw a video with Larry Fishman and he pronounced it pee-ay-zo.

pi-Yay-zo and Ree-Verb I'd say.

Isn't that African language "clock" sound in there somewhere? You know the sound, just like a solidly hit baseball.

Pee "clock" yay zo.
