NOTES
The organ was originally built for St. Martin of Tours R.C. Church in Buffalo,
NY. It was removed for a sanctuary renovation, never reinstalled, and subsequently
sold.

At St. Isadore it is located in the rear gallery of the sanctuary, and is housed
in twin, matching cases on either side of the window. The console is in fixed
position at the center. Installation was done by organ builder Arthur Schlueter
and then Music Director Michael Fraser.

The Great had 4-registers, 5 ranks, and the Swell had 4 registers, 4 ranks. The
Pedal was completely composed of manual borrows. This was one of Möller's "Double
Artiste" models.

The Great 8' Dulciana borrowed its bottom octave from the 8' Gedeckt. The top 5
notes of the Great 2' Flute repeated the previous octave.
