Okay, and we are still kept guessing, fine :-)

I'll be interested to see what guesses you get.
I did wonder about the slow vibrato too, but that
is a puzzle about individual notes.

with the melody what puzzles me is that the notes
are so uniform in timbre so that either you
have a single sound producing source that can vary in
pitch or several very identical ones
at different pitches.

With a fixed number of notes, sounds like
the second guess is the right one, so I
wonder even more what it can be.
