According to wikipedia, since 2008, Jean-Loup Dierstein, with the support of Maurice Martenot's son, has been building ondes Martenot instruments based on the model used when production stopped in 1988.

For the last several years, they have not been made. As I understand it, there is an engineer working on recreating them from the original design. From what Thomas Bloch told me (you can contact him through his email on his website), the price is yet unknown, though he did mention 20,000 euros as a possible price. When the new ondes martenots will be available for purchase is also unknown.

I wish that the camera work focused more on the right hand. That's where the interesting stuff with the ring happens. The left hand was mostly articulation and voice. Fine player. The instrument has so many different sounds. I'd love to see more videos that illustrate the variety of timbres and sounds the ondes martenot makes.

Do you think that pianoforte is a good basis to learn to play ondes martenot?

"Sounds just like Centipede, or maybe Yar's Revenge?"
I'm kidding!!
This is fantastic! First time I've ever seen a real Ondes in action.
Great stuff.

You don't even buy it anymore, you just kill and plunder from someone who owns it. Getting a French Connection knock off with the decent Demon Joystick controller easily runs like $3200. Basically only British people can buy one now.
