One of the worst examples of this I've heard of was pipe organs in a
very large church.  The organist console sits at the opposite end of the
church from the pipes, perhaps 100 feet away from some pipes, leading to
extremely large delays.  I read one account where low notes had a 300ms
delay from pressing the pedal.
