Ed, Back when I was organist at a church (one of the Baldwin Church models from 15+ yrs. ago), when I was playing something full organ and wanted a 32' sounding stop (which that organ didn't have), I'd add a 5th above it. I can't explain what happened but it really did give the "appearance" of that sound! Especially if the bottom note was around the bottom of the pedal board!
