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!

If a piano is rarely played, when it's tuned it will still be a bit out of tune. Most likely if you just got your piano and haven't played it much, tuning it won't help for a bit. You will have to play the piano often to keep it in tune after it's been tuned.

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.
