That's a tenora - a modern Spanish (Catalan) shawm pitched in Bb (same pitch as a soprano sax/Bb clarinet) and has an extended lower range with a long metal bell. The tiple or tible is pitched in F above that (the same as a musette) and is all wood.

Sounds somewhere in between an oboe d'amore and soprano sax!

The opinions I express are my own.
