Person

Jacques Hardel

He came from a family that included two noted instrument makers: his grandfather Gilles Hardel (fl. Ca. 1611) and his father Guillaume Hardel (died 1676), who was a lute maker and a well-established harpsichordist—in 1673–4 he served as harpsichord teacher to the daughter of Philippe d'Orléans.
