Do choirs even have instruments in the first place

Choirs can perform with or without instruments. In many traditional settings, such as church choirs, there may be instrumental accompaniment (like an organ or piano), but choirs can also sing a cappella, which means without any instrumental support. Whether a choir uses instruments or not can vary depending on the genre, style, and specific performance context.

So what’s the answer

The answer is: If there are no instruments, a choir could be a cappella. This acknowledges that choirs can perform without instrumental accompaniment, making them capable of a cappella performance.
