You might want to check more carefully on the place of the Gros Nasard
in the French literature. It seems that more often in the French Classic
tradition, the Grosse Tierce is present, but NOT the Gros Nasard. Your
later registration citations rightly omit reference to the Gros Nasard.
I'd be hard pressed to think of authentic 17th/18th century French
instruments that even *have* the Gros Nasard - perhaps only the latest
and greatest. It certainly is not present at Poitiers. It was sometimes
present on neo-classic instruments of the 20th century. Norbert
Dufourcq's editions (often reprinted in Kalmus) sometimes suggest the
5-1/3' in the Tierce registrations - perhaps this is one (inaccurate)
source of the confusion.
