Is this guy playing an old Grey Paolo Soprani because unless my eyes deceive me it's very dark in colour. The grille makes it look like a Paolo Soprani anyway i could be wrong.
Looks to me like an old grey.Soprani made "greys" in many different shades.Donal Murphy has a black one so its not uncommon for them to be that colour.
they did come in black during a certain interval, and rumor has it the black ones were nowhere near the quality, in both sound and responsiveness/playability, as the greys and certain choice reds.
Hey dinn2 i just looked at your profile and you switched from B/C to C#/D? What were you thinking that's like re-writing the bible in my books. Do you find the C#/D system easier then or what? And can you play both systems no bother?
ah....good oul C#/D....in my opinion its the sh*t!!Takes a while to get used to but when you do its class.Much more bite in the music.....I don'y play B/C anymore because it cant compare to C#/D in my books.
Old Grey or not?

Can't speak to the original question since our internet connection doesn't let me watch youtube....
But in regard to the last comment .... I have owned a few nice old Paolo Sopranis, and the black ones can be excellent.
