Hi Gordon,
You are totally right, with one exception: the 2/3 harmonic (corresponding to a 12' pipe) is not weird-sounding, it sounds very nice and mellow, also while playing chords. I had the 'idea fix' that it
was common for Hammond and church organs also, but as you said: it does not exist there.

Yes, I'm talking about adding lower frequencies. They don't sound shit(?),
Hammond and organ players do it all the time.
2/3 would, because it doesn't "fit" nicely.
If you look at the stops available on a Hammond your base generator is 8', with the
option to add in a 16' "pipe" giving a partial one octave lower. There are
straight octave partials at 4', 2' and 1' and then there are stops at a perfect fifth (5
1/3), an octave and a fifth (2 2/3), two octaves and a major third (1 3/5) and two
octaves and a fifth (1 1/3).
There isn't one at 2/3 (which would correspond to a 12' pipe). That would come
out at a fourth below your fundamental, which would be a bit weird-sounding.
Try it if you don't believe me.
