This is McCartneys personal piano located in his music room in London. He had it painted by pop artists Douglas Binder and Dudley Edwards in 1967. He used it for writing many of the songs on Sgt Peppers.

“I remember the first time I first saw a photo of their painted car in the Sunday Times Magazine and I thought it was really cool. I told them “I’ve got a little piano I’d like you to decorate in that same style”… It became my psychedelic piano which I wrote a lot of songs on, including “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, “Fixing A Hole”, and “Hey Jude”. It’s in its rightful place in my music room in London.”

Lennon played this piano on TOTP in Feb 1969

Although McCartney owns one of these pianos (his "magic psychedelic" painted piano). This white version is likely a BBC prop as both Billy Preston and The Marmalade are also seen playing it on TOTP in early 1969, minus the stickers applied for this edition.
