A highly directional acoustic source for use in a well logging system wherein a fluid-filled tube is provided with a transducer at one end and an acoustic reflector at the other end to reflect the acoustic beam into the formation. The transducer is excited at two frequencies whose difference is the desired frequency and the tube is made sufficiently long to produce parametric generation of the difference frequency.
