Hautbois, petit bourdon, \u00ab micro \u00bb bourdon ou pour certaines layette au dos d\u2019un boitier souvent tr\u00e8s d\u00e9cor\u00e9 par des incrustations de nacre grav\u00e9e repr\u00e9sentant des fleurs ou de charmantes sc\u00e9nettes, soufflet trap\u00e9zo\u00efdale, parfois orn\u00e9e de spectaculaires d\u00e9calcomanies, les cornemuses BECHONNET sont toujours tr\u00e8s soign\u00e9es avec des d\u00e9corations souvent de bon go\u00fbt champ\u00eatre.
BECHONNET est un facteur \u00e9tonnant : comment les id\u00e9es pour concevoir une telle cornemuse et surtout d\u2019un tel raffinement dans sa conception (comme pour ses d\u00e9corations) lui sont venues ? Avait-il voyag\u00e9 ? Quels types de luthiers et d\u2019instruments avait-il crois\u00e9 ? Quel avait \u00e9t\u00e9 son apprentissage avant de se lancer dans cette fabrication unique ?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sa profession officielle \u00e9tant sabotier, on aime \u00e0 imaginer la qualit\u00e9 de sa production.
Car il est toujours \u00e9tonnant de voir le raffinement et la pr\u00e9cision des musettes sign\u00e9es du ma\u00eetre d\u2019Effiat.
Dans les \u00ab BECHONNET \u00bb tr\u00e8s jou\u00e9es en basse Auvergne, principalement au tournant du XIX\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle, certains voient une part de son inspiration dans l\u2019organologie de la musette bressane.
On continue r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement \u00e0  d\u00e9couvrir des instruments de ce facteur qui sans conteste a marqu\u00e9 l\u2019histoire de la musique et de la facture instrumentale fran\u00e7aise.
La fabrication des \u00ab BECHONNET \u00bb fut relanc\u00e9e, par un luthier fran\u00e7ais, (de Vichy), Bernard BLANC au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 80.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

JOSEPH B\u00c9CHONNET, CREATOR OF THE PERFECT MUSETTE<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

It is in Effiat, a small town in the north of the Puy-de-D\u00f4me region of France, that a clog maker created one of the most original bagpipes (musette) in France. Vichy Ench\u00e8res is delighted to provide you the opportunity to discover the refinement and superior craftsmanship of musettes by B\u00e9chonnet during its sale of wind and plucked string instruments on 15 June 2013.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Bechonnet (1821-1900)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As evidenced by its oboes, small drones, “micro” drones, certain backs of cases, which are often highly decorated with engraved mother-of-pearl inlays representing flowers or charming scenes, or trapezoidal bellows, sometimes adorned with spectacular decals, BECHONNET bagpipes are always very meticulously crafted, and ornamented with decorations with a rural theme of good taste.
BECHONNET is an extraordinary maker. How did the ideas for designing such bagpipes, with such degree of refinement in its form and decoration, come to him? Did he travel? What makers and instruments did he come across? What sort of apprenticeship had he had before embarking on the manufacture of these unique instruments?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

His official profession was that of clog maker, and one can only wonder at the quality of his output in this field, as his musettes were always highly refined and meticulously crafted. Some can perceive inspiration from the musette bressane in the “BECHONNET” musette so popular in lower Auvergne, mainly at the turn of the 19th century.
We regularly discover new instruments by this maker, who undoubtedly marked the history of music and French instrumental manufacture.
In the early 1980s, the manufacture of BECHONNET musettes was relaunched by Bernard BLANC, a French maker from Vichy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
