Yes, it's a half-valved HohZuki CX-12 in PowerChromatic tuning. "HohZuki" because it has Suzuki SCX-48 reedplates inside.
I re-designed the slider with bigger holes and get it laser cut in stainless steel, then sand down to optimal thickness. This makes the instrument much more airtight and suitable for half-valving. The stock CX-12 slider is too thin, which makes it noisy and non-airtight.
@SuperBee: Yes, Tim is a wicked Capo Meister!
@ arzajac: I recorded a gypsy jazz version of Exhalaration on my MP3 album "PB and the Swingfellas", with Aussie guitarist Ian Date, double bass and cajon. If you're interested it's available for download at my website:
