How often should I have my piano tuned and why?  Pianos are a lot like cars; they both need regular tune-ups!  People seem to know how often they need an oil change, but many aren't sure when or how often to tune their pianos.  Pianos should be tuned every six months or more often, if there are severe climate changes.  If you wait until your piano sounds out of tune to you, it is most probably too late for just a standard tuning to get you back up to par!  When a piano is tuned to A440 (concert pitch), each of its approximately 231 strings is put under 170 pounds of tension!  That is nearly 20 TONS of pressure put on the cast iron plate and frame of your piano!!  (No wonder it's so heavy to lift!).  But don't worry...your piano has been designed to withstand this amount of pressure!  Once you realize that this tension is always there, and constantly stretching, you will easily understand how a piano will gradually go flat (out of tune), even if it isn't played at all!!  A tuner determines how much tuning your piano needs based on how far that string tension and pitch has dropped, NOT on how bad the piano may sound.  Many people use how a piano sounds as the only criteria in determining whether or not it needs tuning, yet this is usually one of the last and "too late" symptoms of a piano that needs tuning.  In fact, if all the strings happen to drop pitch at approximately the same distance from A440, the chords that you play may still sound good to you in spite of the fact that the pitch has dropped too far to get back to A440 with just one tuning.  Regular 6-month maintenance will help avoid this costly and totally avoidable expense.
