Someone will know precisely, but it appears to be an English guittar or an 18th c cittern not a modern one, to which a more solid bridge has been added. I don't think it is a waldzither though John Pearse says he played waldzither in the London folk scene which would be 6-10 years before this video. Quite a lot of old instruments were around then, and not highly valued either, often cannibalised and fitted with new necks or bridges.
