A stimulating thought from the Haynes' book I'm reading at the moment, that has some bearing on the subject at hand: the modern HIP-movement is recreating early music much like the Florentiner Camerata was recreating early music; we are making something completely new - only time will tell how new or how lasting - out of dissatisfaction with what was before. Modern gut stringing might be a good example of this theory.
