Piano 103

Piano 103 was captured in the church of St. George the Martyr in Borough. A Yamaha grand on a new-to-me stand from Sunex.

A bit of effort, and I get to reference 2, engineering people rather than piano people. And I can't find this particular product, although they are clearly into jacks and lifting.

Google Images' AI assistant offers: 'The image shows a Sunex 4406 6-ton bottle jack attached to a wheel assembly. Bottle jacks like this one use hydraulic force to lift heavy objects and are often used for automotive and industrial applications. The jack in the image features a two-piece handle for controlling the release valve and pumping the jack. It also has a pivoting base and a hydraulic bypass system to prevent over-extension. While bottle jacks are compact and easy to store, they can be unstable on uneven surfaces'. 

Which seems to be about right. So someone has knocked up a piano moving assembly around bottle jacks. Would Steinway's have allowed such a fudge with one of their pianos?

Zoomed, I notice that the lacquer on the piano is a bit tired. Top right in the image above. Maybe the piano has been carelessly stored at some point.
