There are many factors that influence how often a piano should be tuned. Some of these factors that affect how often your piano should be tuned include:

Humidity changes
Temperature changes
Stretching of strings
Slipping tuning pins
Hard use
Piano placement

You can control the severity of some of the above effects by placing your piano near a wall away from windows or doors which are opened frequently. Avoid heating and air conditioning vents, fireplaces and areas which receive direct sunlight. Your piano will perform best in a temperature controlled setting, optimally at a temperature of 68 degrees F and 42 percent relative humidity.
