How often a piano should be tuned?
Pianos that are used by students for daily practice should be tuned at least every 6 months. Pianos that are new should be tuned every 3 months during the first year and every 6 months after that. Pianos used by professionals and serious advanced students should be tuned once a quarter. Every piano should be tuned at least once a year. Pianos are made to function and sound best when they are up to pitch (A4 = 440 Hz). When piaons hage not been tuned in a long time it may take several tunings to stablize the instrument and the chance of strings breaking is greatly increased.
