How often should I have my piano tuned?

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!
