it says there are only 3 of this kind in the world, I am curious if Pianoteq would have tryied to replicate it

And the Glassichord
The harp piano is definitely interesting. Is it functional as a harp, or is it just stylized to look like one? This kind of thing was very common in the 19th century with pianos shaped like French harpsichords, or others built with overly ornate art cases.
In the earlier part of the 19th century, was the giraffe piano. This was a kind of upright found in Vienna.

The instrument shown here has the typical array of pedals found on Viennese pianos in those days including a moderator and bassoon stop.
