Not as a gimmick. As the logical conclusion of what Aurora already is. Patented mechanics, built entirely in Britain, fifty years of restoration knowledge behind every joint and string. The transparent case doesn’t hide that engineering, the way a sealed case always has. It puts it on display. The frame, the strings, the mechanism that lets the piano play with no one seated at it, all visible, all the time.
The case takes its character from the room around it. Pale walls and it recedes into them. Dark surfaces behind it and it holds their colour, catches their light. At night, with the interior lit, the mechanism becomes visible in motion, the keys moving on their own, the sound filling the room from an instrument that appears, briefly, to have no inside at all.
