As far as that goes, how in the world could you capo a tambourine? Sounds like the folk music store was stringing your friend along to me. And it also seems to me that it would be easier to just go with a SSTC with electronic modulation than to try to build the nightmare of a me- chanically driven musical SGTC.
SGTCs have higher peak powers and lower electronic complexity (yes, a mechanical setup to get from keyboard to multiple rotary gaps would be quite complex, but, hey, no worse than a piano or harpsichord)
But I think another appeal is to do something with (conceptually) only technologies available to Tesla (except, of course, modern insulation, transformers, and capacitors).
