In 1930 Maurice Puget built a two-manual organ for the abbey church in Bellocq. In 1965 the instrument was transferred to the parish church of Saint-Etienne-de-Baïgorry by Aquilino Amezua, and the instrument was enlarged by them. In 2008 the building of a completely new organ started. The old instrument was sold. Claude Langlais transferred it to its current location in 2009, the Église Saint-Martial in Chantrezac.
