17BASSOT ——, Paris, 1788.
19BERNADEL, Sébastien Philippe, born at Mirecourt, in 1802, was in the workshop of Lupot, in Paris. The instruments of this maker are excellently made, and the wood judiciously selected. He took his sons into partnership in 1859, and retired from business in 1866. He died in 1870.
