Ah, I understand but I am fundamentally out of my depth here. I had to look up what odd-order harmonics are and I'm still not sure I understand.
Harmonics are defined as an unwanted higher frequency component that is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. Harmonics create a distortion in the fundamental waveform.
Okay... What you are hearing (I think) are what luthiers call "wolf tones" and are unwanted. There has been much discussion on this forum and others on trying to prevent wolf tones by "tuning" the box to a certain fundamental. Stuff way over my head so I will shut up now.
