I understand in OPs case, someone else (being a professional) has already recorded and mastered the sound of a real live pipe organ. That person of course benefits from working at 24bit, but once he's done mastering, OP is "just" playing back the mastered audio and should be fine with 16bits, I think.

But OP is not just playing back a single mastered recording, it's thousands of simultaneous samples that get mixed together live, presumably. In that case the professional who recorded all these samples can do nothing to prevent the peaks from lining up during playback.
