Thank you for an interesting post.

It was surprising to me when I started to realize how much overlap there is between musical performance and technology advancement.  @cmp2020 and I went to a baroque ensemble's performance last year where the conductor pointed out that the piano didn't become widely available until near the end of Bach's career, and more recently we watched a Mozart documentary where the narrator talked about how Mozart was one of the first to really exploit the technical advancement that the piano gave to play notes with dynamics on a keyboard instrument.  In modern times, the advance of technology for recording and production technologies, and now block chain seem new, and it probably moves faster, but I guess it's really just a continuation of a centuries old trend.  The change from gut to metal for stringed instruments is another interesting example that I hadn't been aware of.
