Default Changing dipole resonance by changing one leg?

Ken,

If you design the antenna for a high frequency, and then start clipping, it
will resonate at a higher frequency. No amount of clipping is going to give
you low SWR at a lower frequency.

How effective is it to cut a one-band dipole for the highest frequency
desired and clipping an extension on one leg to get low SWR on lower
frequencies?
