Just a pipe organ with the ability slide notes and do tremolo
and
portamento. Does it use extending pipes, or a hundred
1/100th
of a tone pipes between each note? Can't be sure. It may use
a
slide whistle mechanism for some notes.
Like this?

[mechE] Here's the book your wiki article quotes. Curiously, the word "Vibrato" does not appear in the book at all. "Bend" is also missing. Tremolo is mentioned, but only in the context of amplitude.

there's a difference between pitch and amplitude [fishboner, Jan 11 2010]
[MechE] if you prefer wiki, here is an article which specifically says organ tremulant is NOT pitch variation

The mighty wurlitzer pipe-organ-trombone. |
|

[flying toaster]
the trompete section can use sliders. The block flutes can use
sliding mechanisms as well. The purest way for the rest is the
fractional mid pipes. |
|
| |
what about introducing hydrogen or helium into the airflow for upwards pitch-bends. |
|
| |
pipe organs contain *thousands* of pipes, and you want to increase this by... 8500'ish pipes per stop ? |
|
| |
[flying toaster] okay, you have called me out on the useless
extravagance of 100 pipes per note.
How about 4 pipes per note? Hydrogen could work, I just
know nothing about blowing it through pipes... Extra pipes
seems easier to me. We can keep the hydrogen for fire
effects. It can be called the "Fire Breathing Pipe Organ".
Igniting the gas as it enters the pipe could be interesting, but
thermal expansion would be hard to control.. |

well there ya go: reservoirs of hot and cold air. |

Many things might be improved with the addition of a whammy bar. +. |

although a dubious addition to a body, I find... |

I wouldn't put a whammy bar on my organ. |
