A primary sensing device, or apparatus, for measuring energy level changes, or variations, in a medium capable of transmitting energy. An elongated reed, the ends of which are tensioned upon suitable support means, is acted upon by the energy level changes, or variations, within the medium and energy is absorbed by the reed which causes the latter to resonate in a harmonic mode to produce nodes and antinodes in known relation to the amount of energy transmitted thereto by the medium and absorbed by said reed. An output signal, suitably as produced by one or a plurality of strain gauges, is taken off from the resonating reed, and interpreted via suitable read-out means as an intelligible signal indicative of the change in magnitude of the variable property measured within the medium.
