Have your piano tuned as often as you feel necessary, but a minimum of twice a year is the rule of thumb. Just remember: when you turn on the heat in the winter, and when you turn it off in spring, you're about 2 weeks away from needing a tuning. These are the times of year when the humidity change starts to shrink or swell the wooden structure of the piano, and it starts to drift out of tune. So wait until the room your piano is in gets used to the climate change, then tune your piano!

Can you tune a piano to A-flat major?
Yes. I had a piano tuned to A-flat major. I purchased an old piano with old rusty strings. The piano tuner was afraid that if he tuned the piano to a 440 A that the strings would break. So instead he tuned the A Sharp to 440. As a result the A was tuned to A flat. Eventually, I replaced the strings and another tuner pulled the strings up so that the A was 440. He did it gradually.

How long does a piano last?
A regular piano tuning usually lasts 6 months to 1 year. I tune pianos here in Phoenix, AZ. - Perfect Piano Tuning, L.L.C. Addendum: If, on the other hand you meant: "How long will my piano stay in tune once tuned?" that is variable by the climate where you live, and how much the piano is played (which is actually good for it). A professional will want their piano tuned at least once every six months. For the average person who owns and plays a piano, once a year is typical - and it should be re-tuned in the same season it was originally tuned in. Climate can have a big effect on how long your piano will stay in tune, especially if the humidity fluctuates frequently. In dry conditions the pitch becomes flat. In humid conditions it becomes sharp. Extreme changes in humidity can also cause physical damage to many parts of your instrument, so it is something you should be mindful of.
