By the way, on the third picture, the man is holding a german Akkordeon, in english I think "accordion", made by HOHNER. My father was always very fond of the french accordion, the name of the french edition is "musette", isn`t it?

I am not very knowledgeable in music instruments; but if I am not too wrong, msette is a kind of flute, corn or clarinet that you blow in. The instrument in the picture is simply called  l’ accordéon

That`s right, but the typical french instrument to compare is La Musette. I Think you are a french?

Yes, indeed; I am a French but lost in the USA for many years. :D

But as I said before, I think la musette is an instrument that works with air. This is why I mention trumpet and corns, etc. Maybe it is also referred to l’ accordeon because it works with the air. But as I said before, not being a music instruments specialist, this is all I can say.

BTW, in old French songs, I often heard the word la musette, but never really cared what exactly it was as a music instrument. lol

Dear Werner, you made me check in my Larousse dictionary. lol

It says that la musette was a countryside music instrument that was popular in 18th century and worked by a sac of air. 

"Bal musette" is a "bal " where you dance with the sound of accordion. 

Therefore, you are more or less right; and, I am finally learning what la musette really means. :D

By the way, Louis, each accordeon is working with "air", at first you pull the both sides outside and then you push them again together. It`s a little bit similar to the scottish pipe drum, but indeed more comfortable and the noise is quite different.
