Super sleuth and recent Bari player, Ron Hale, has done some searching since the recent post of the Squirrel Nut Zippers to find Katharine Whalen actually playing a Bari. This music video has Katharine playing two instruments. The YT comments only mention the tenor guitar but there are quick scenes in which we believe she's playing a black baritone ukulele. See these time frames 2:09, 2:26, 2:51-2:55, 3:09. What do you think? Is Kat out there? Will she tell?
The guitar is a one of a kind Tenor Guitar built by Wes Lambe.

It's tuned in open G, which is what Katharine tunes her Banjo, Baritone Ukulele, and Tenor Guitar. The Baritone Ukulele is not actually on the recording, but used in the video as a prop. It is actually the exact same Baritone Ukulele that was used on the "Hell" recording by SNZ.
If you'd like to hear more of Katharine playing that Baritone Ukulele, you can check out her webpage and check out her "Rick Demos"
