- There used to be a choir organ in the Église Saint-Martin in Roubaix, that was built by Joseph Merklin in 1856 in an organ case manufactured by Buisine. The instrument was repaired and modernized in 1950 by Marcel Loridan. He installed a new console, with electric action. The organ had two manuals and pedal, and the second manual (Récit Expressif) had 42 keys (c°-f''').
- In 1971 the organ was removed from the church during a renovation of the interior. It never returned, fate unknown.
