Vatican II: Musicum Sacram, VI

62.   Musical instruments can be very useful in sacred celebrations, whether they accompany the singing or whether they are played as solo instruments. “The pipe organ is to be held in high esteem in the Latin Church, since it is its traditional instrument, the sound of which can add a wonderful splendor to the Church’s ceremonies and powerfully lift up people's minds to God and higher things.”

65. In sung or said Masses, the organ, or other instrument legitimately admitted, can be used to accompany the singing of the choir and the people; it can also be played solo at the beginning before the priest reaches the altar, at the Offertory, at the Communion, and at the end of Mass.
