I have not read all the responses so I don't know if this has already
been said or if it's way out in "right-field" somewhere....

I would attempt to do it the same as you get vibrato on a triangle or
a vibraphone.

On a triangle you strike the triangle then wave your hand over it,
it really produces a nice effect.  I would imagine that if you could wave
your hand over the piano strings it wold produce the same effect.
I realize this is not practical.

On a vibraphone there is a small "fan" at the bottom of each pipe.  I think
if you put a simlar type of fan over the piano strings you would again
get the same effect.
