          For the disambiguation, I'd suggest "keyboard instrument, similar to a harpsichord with pipes attached" since the pipes seem important here

          Introduction

          ‘Claviorgan’ is the English equivalent of the quasi-Latin _claviorganum, _denoting a keyboard instrument in which strings and pipes ‘sound together to produce a pleasing sound’.

          Appearance

          Externally it looks exactly like a clavicymbal or symphony, apart from the bellows, which are sometimes set at the rear and sometimes placed inside the body. The spinet-regals are usually quite compact, especially compared to their larger harpsichord cousins. The organ is usually a small regal, with the bellows perpendicular to the keyboard, and pipes with tiny resonators. A lot of variation in timbre between the organ and the harpsichord.

          Origin

          A number of "virgynalls with regals" are mentioned in the inventories of Henry VIII in 1542/3 and 1547 and Wilson Barry cites references to the claviorganum in England dating back to the 1530s. The true claviorgan remained on the fringe of music-making for at least three centuries; its history is thus neither continuous nor connected, but comprises a series of important types. In the 16th century, spinets or virginals 'with pipes undernethe' are known to have existed from documentary evidence; double- or triple-strung, full-size harpsichords with positive organs incorporated are to be found in Germany (a Dresden inventory, 1593), Italy (Banchieri, 1605), England (one made by Theewes, 1579) and elsewhere. Claviorgans were occasionally named on the title pages or in prefaces to various publications (e.g. A. de Arena, Bassas dansas, 1572, for 'espineta sola, espinate organisati', and S, Seminiati, Salmi.) Source
