The organ of St. Paul’s was built in 1963 by the firm ‘Vincenzo Mascioni and Sons’ and substituted the original Roosevelt organ (which is now owned by the church of Gesu Bambino a Sacco Pastore in Rome). It has an electric transmission and is a powerful and versatile instrument, having 40 stops divided among three manuals and a pedal board. Like all Mascioni instruments of its time it has a eclectic style and adapts well to a wide repertoire. The console is situated in the left aisle, in front of the St. Augustine Chapel, while the pipes are placed in the corner between the right aisle and the apse.
The organ is used frequently for recitals as well as services, and it has been played by many noteworthy organists, including Martin Sander, Daniel Roth, Josep Solé Coll, titular organist of St Peter’s Basilica and the English organists Stephen Farr and Christopher Herrick, as well as many others.
