Yeah, but organists are trained to compensate for that. That's one reason
there are so many manuals. But it does make the music interesting to play.
I know a concert organist who is rather accomplished; I didn't even think
about his techniques when I mentioned horn. When one stop is half a second
removed from another, odd and interesting effects can be produced by one who
know the instrument and the acoustics of the venue well enough.
But I think most musicians don't want to have to deal with the pipe organ
techniques.
