that would be an 8-string guitar, actually (man, am i
feeling like a nitpick today!... and i haven't even
heard the band!!)
check out charliehunter.com for details. they even
have some sound clips (none with Maret,
unfortunately). 

and, for some reviews:

harp content:
overall, the addition of Maret's chromatic to Charlie
Hunter's base sound gets positive reviews. in fact,
he's specifically pointed out in almost every review
i've read so far.
