Dear List: Schimmel (Germany) made the first "see-through" plexiglass piano (not polyester) in the 50's. (I will confrim the exact date). Kawai followed thereafter. The "clear" pianos you may have encountered are indeed plexiglass and not polyester. I will be happy to povide you with photos and/or more info. The sounding portion of the pianos are the same as a "real" piano, the case is plexiglass. If you get the opportunity, compare. Best Regards, Steve Cunningham pianoco@aol.com 1-800-443-7509 Dampp-Chaser Distributor Schimmel Tech Rep Kawai Dealer etc. and so on.......
