All acoustic pianos go out of tune, from the smallest spinet to the largest grand. This is often caused by seasonal changes in humidity and other environmental changes interacting with the wood, felt, and steel materials in the piano. How quickly depends on the quality and condition of a piano, where it is located, and how much it is played.

Piano manufacturers recommend tuning a minimum of two and up to four times per year. Frequent tuning has many benefits: it keeps the piano close to the pitch it was designed for, and therefore sounding as intended; it stabilizes the piano so it does not need to be tuned as far each time; it causes the piano to undergo less stress during tuning; and of course, it sounds wonderful, and gives greater potential for making beautiful music.
