- The organ of the Église Saint-Martin in Pau was built in 1870/1871 by Georges Wenner. It is one of his largest works, which had 54 stops on completion. It was consecrated on December 21, 1871. Léandre Czerniewski, the organist of the church, played the inauguration concert. The previous organ of the church, dating from the 17th century, was sold to the parish of Ossun.
- The organ has been renovated in several times: in 1942 by Maurice Puget, in 1968 by Edmond Costa and in 1976 by the Gonzalèz firm. The specification was modified and the action was electrified in 1976. Barnard Dargassie carried out a restoration in 1997. He expanded the stop list with four horizontal reeds (en chamade). He also installed a second console on the church floor.
