Nicholas-Jacques Baradelle
Baradelle Family Background
The Baradelles were a distinguished family of scientific & mathematical instrument makers in Paris.
Nicolas-Jacques Baradelle (1701-after 1772) was the senior member. He apprenticed with N. la Butte (in 1717), Jacques le Maire (also in 1717), and Nicolas Bion (from 1719 to 1725), and lived and worked at Bion's address on the Quai de l'Horloge in Paris.
By 1752, he was operating down the street under the sign à l'Observatoire in homage to his godfather, Jacques Cassini, director of the Paris Observatory between 1712 and 1756.
Baradelle also had a close connection at the Academie des Sciences, and employed members' data in some of his instruments.
His grandsons included the instrument makers Nicolas-Alexandre Baradelle (ca. 1740-post 1791), Nicolas-Elois Baradelle (1749-1814), and Jean-Louis-Jacques Baradelle (1752-1794), all of whom were in the Founders' Company.

Known as "Flutinas", at the time, it seems they became "accordions" when French manufacturers began making 2-row boxes (but, who knows for sure). This drawing refers to the revolutionary origins of Napoleon's power. Napoleon, in an elegant white-and-gold costume, prods a pile of garbage with his sword underneath an effigy of himself. He doesn't notice, intent on finding his crown. A lamplighter in rags is kneeling nearby, and all the revolutionary symbols and archetypes are nearby. The drawing symbolizes the revolutionary origins of his rise to power. Caption on image: Copyright ©vanflat.pages.dev 2025•
Where it All Began
The images below depict a very early (1830-31) Damien (the one that is whole). The original Austrian patent application (available online) depicts a 5 button design, but notes that the design is expandable, respecting the number of buttons (and tones). These Flutinas were, of course, diatonic and bi-sonoric. The bellows are paper, and still functional, although quite stiff. There is a bellows vent on the left side (the bass side isn't, yet) to facilitate silent bellows movement.
The second box (the disassembled one) is a mid 1830's, French made "Busson". Because of the lack of ornamentation and no left side bass buttons, I suspect that this unit is a very early example. By the 1840's, left side bass buttons (levers, actually, referred to as "sp •
