There is a picture of the clear acrylic Kawai on The Piano Page if that's
what you're referring to.

I got a chance to play (and tune) one in the eighties. It tuned OK, but
sounded pretty poor compaged to a regular KG series grand. It had very
little resonance and no carrying power whatsoever as I recall.

It was an interesting gimmick though...
