Jean Henri Naderman
Jean Henri Naderman, was an 18th-century luthier and one of the leading harp-makers in Paris of his day. He supplied the Royal Household with his instruments and wrote his music in classical style, with a large influence of the baroque. He had two sons, François Joseph Naderman, renowned harpist, and Henri Naderman, luthier.
Life
Jean Henri Naderman (1735-1799) was born in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland in 1735, but emigrated to France where he began working as an harp manufacturer. Later in 1777 he was licenced to work as a music publisher.[1] He rose to fame when he was commissioned to create and perfect the harps of Queen Marie-Antoinette, on her arrival in France, together with the Czech composer and harpist Jean-Baptiste Krumpholtz.
The Naderman single-pedal harp is supposed to have been modelled after the successful eighteenth century Bavarian single-action mechanism pedal harp, whose manufacture, although claimed by several other harp makers including Jean Paul Vetter of Nuremberg and Johann Hausen of Weimar,[2] is often attributed to Jacob Hochbrucker.[1] Today, six harps of this specific model have been located.[3] Jean Henri Naderman died in Paris in 1799.
