Judging from calls I've gotten, sometimes five or more years - then 
suddenly go out of tune just before tomorrow's party.

The trick of keeping a piano in tune seems to be not telling it about the 
party. Other than that, presuming it's possible to get a piano exactly in 
tune (which I highly doubt), some part of the tuning will be measurably 
different almost immediately. In my world, a piano that's 2c off doesn't 
need tuned. But then I've never been called to tune a piano that was only 
2c off, so that's just an impression.

Yes, I do impressions.
