How often does a piano need tuning?

As a general rule, pianos need tuning anually, however its no big deal for a piano to go 3-5 years without being tuned. After 5 years, the pitch begins to drop sharply and the piano will begin to sound quite flat. We generally recommend home pianos be tuned every few years and if your playing every day, it should be tuned anually. When was your piano last tuned? Post a comment...
