Indefinitely. It's not the sitting on it's side that is the problem. It's 
what goes on in the storage facility that will make the difference. To keep 
damage to a minimum, make sure the storage facility is has climate control. 
Not just that they keep the heat on in the winter, but that the temperature 
and humidity stays constant. Also, make sure that the piano is not sitting 
directly on a concrete floor, even with a blanket under it. Make sure it is 
sitting on a wood pallet.  When the piano is taken out of storage, it will 
need several tunings before it will stay in tune.
