Abstract
This chapter discusses different ways to use technology to make available to serious organists and students of organ history the complex and subtle sounds illustrating different organ cultures. This includes the use of a sound synthesis technology designed specifically to take account of these requirements. It includes findings from experimental work aimed at identifying and meeting the particular challenges of this application.
