Pretty sure it's a uke, looks like 19 frets on the board, 1st and 3rd course doubled however I didn't figure out what tuning he's using.
 
Hey Paul

Thanks so much for sharing mate. That was awesome...Steve Marriott sure had some voice, eh?...just made the vocals look so effortless
 
The man was a legend - love his voice - but aside from that - some mean ukulele picking going on there too!
 
Only guitarists I knew alongside Steve in HP were Frampton, who was later replaced by Dave Clempson - one of the two!

ps - this extract taken from one of his fan pages

During boyhood holidays to various seaside resorts, Steve would invariably win all the talent competitions. Usually the first his family would know anything was when he arrived back at the holiday home with a pocketful of cash. That and earning money by busking with his ukulele along the rows of beach huts.

Definitely a 6 string tenor uke with the 1st and 3rd courses doubled. Can't get a take on the brand but it's definitely old. Could be a Martin? Nice sound though.
