Hehee. A piano tuner once told me he had a client who insisted that his piano be 
tuned to precisely the "correct" frequencies. Apparently it sounded terrible, 
but this guy played a church organ and wanted it the same... :)

But do oscillating air columns have linear harmonics? I suppose I could look it 
up...
