It would be difficult to manage the ~90 different tuning forks such a keyboard would require. Far more sensible for each of the keys to be connected to some sort of tensioned wire, the tension of which could be adjusted to achieve the required tuning.

But perhaps with your tensioned wire you could use a pick on the key (such as in a harpsichord) which has a different texture on each side, affecting the timbre but not the pitch.
