Even fully electrically-actuated pipe organs have to fill the big pipes with pressure and vibration, and I have heard that the older ones with mechanical actions have more than one-tenth-second latency sometimes, even when well-kept. And certainly working with a choir is different :-) It is rather rare now in the USA to find a real pipe-organ accompanying a real choir. For a while I was primary instrumentalist in a church which could have done it; I floated the idea of trying, and the response was akin to a gentle horror :-) It takes a patience which, at least in the U.S.A., has become sadly quite rare.
