How many times do you tune?

Most of the pianos this flat that I see are chronically flat from neglect,
and the largest deviation is in octaves 5 and 6. The only time I see the
largest deviation in the tenor is in frequently tuned pianos subjected to
humidity changes.

Regional differences probably matter in this question.
