You are, of course, correct. I was lead from the description of a single pipe resonator with three different reeds to thoughts of other pipes with common resonators. The dopplefloete does have two mouths on opposite sides of the pipe and share the resonator. They are used on a number of German fair organs. I don't know of a use of Ludwig tones on a fair organ but anything is possible. Sorry if I have generated more confusion than enlightenment.
