      No such thing.

Recording studio pianos at least once a day when in use.  
Concert halls are tuned for every paying performance, or once a week in just 
for stage use.  
Serious pianists three or so times a year, or more often when a different 
temperament is desired. 
Most home pianos, once a year, (at Christmas or Easter).  
My own piano at home,  umm,  err,  uh,  I don't rightly remember the last 
time, but this century, I think.
