To see how 64' pitch is achievable you need to consider the maths. The bottom C on the pedal board for a 16' pipe sounds approx 32Hz. The 21.1/3' pipe will sound approx 24Hz. The resultant frequency is 56Hz by addition but there is also a resultant by subtraction, and that is 8Hz which is equivalent to 64'. That's the theory, but I must admit I've never been that convinced by the actual audible result!
Resultants DO work! Did the calculations years ago as a teenager. I have created a 32' resultant by playing a 16' pedal Bourdon and a fith above. (But that is not a perfect fifth.)( Perfect fiths are best.) Surprisingly, I do not recall ever creating a 64' resultant by playing a 32' stop and fifth above. The United State Air Force Academy has a pedal 32' Cornet V (Wish I knew the stops which make it.)
I prefer the actual pitches because the quint in the resultant adds some unclarity.
Some 32' stops become resultants in the bottom octave. Instead of a 32' pipe, it is two pipes: 16' and 10-2/3' = 26-2/3 feet. That is only 5-1/3' less than a 32' pipe. I would think making TWO pipes and air channels to them not much less expensive than ONE 32' pipe.
I have played organs which have plenty of room for a 32' but it becomes a resultant. It was not done because of height clearances.
Originally, 1646, the organ compass extended to the F below the bottom C we are used to and this would have been a 24' pipe. I suspect that when F. C. Schnitger did his resoration around 1725 and added a normal compass pedal and manuals he used the old oversized pipes to create the 22' rank because the metal work was available!
