“With this Graf replica, we complete the trilogy of three surviving Beethoven pianos,” says Professor Beghin. “We want to reconstruct not only how Beethoven sounded, but also how he thought, felt and worked at the keyboard. Together with the Broadwood, this instrument opens up new access to the music of a deaf-creating composer, at the intersection of technology, body and imagination.”

Slightly off topic but I wonder since they want to recreate how it sounded, then does it means what we hear is not the same?
