The funny part is that pipe organists would laugh at 100ms latency and say "cry me a river". With the pneumatics combined with the distance of the pipes from the performer, pipe organ latencies can be in the 200 to 500ms range. I asked my sister how she managed it and she said it was just a learned skill. She had to learn to completely tune out what she was hearing and play with the beat and music completely internalized. The difference, of course, is that organists are usually not syncing up to other instruments. If there are other instruments involved, they tend to sync up with the organ.
