The organ can be seen as technological artifact or, more precisely, as artistic technology, “i.e. as a special kind of technology that is meant to produce aesthetic experiences." - Peter Peters

“When you play on period instruments such as the lute, you have to adapt to the instrument so to speak. It’s not like a nice modern piano in which you press a key and then ‘clack’ you have an automatically clear sound. With the lute you really have to try and see how the instrument reacts, what it can give you… and then you have to be at its service.” - Ariane Renel
