Yes, a pipe organ contains a lot of leather, typically deerskin, sheepskin, and cowhide. Pneumatic actions have either a small, circular leather pouch or a tiny leather-covered bellows for every pipe in the instrument, which can amount to thousands in a large organ. These allow air pressure to open and close the valve underneath each pipe.
Joints in the wooden wind chests are gasketed with leather strips.
Wooden pipes that have movable stoppers use leather as packing so that the stopper is airtight.
Reservoirs and bellows are jointed or hinged with strips of leather.
As you can see, leather is an indispensible component of pipe organs. Other materials, such as rubber or synthetic fabrics, have been tried, but they do not work as well nor last as long as leather.
