Rather confusing and, as such, dubious term [Arcadia is a region on the Greek peninsula, Peloponnese], used by Ricros/Montbel, according to whom "the cabrette became around 1830 an extension, a borrowing from the utopian pastoral world of the aristocracy of Versailles", adding that "the Arcadian musette was converted into a musette of suburban Paris"; NB: ➺ related & similar terms.
