Why does a piano go out of tune?

There are two main reasons that a piano can go out of tune. When the piano is new, the strings must continue to stretch and the wood needs to settle. During the first year, it is important to have the piano tuned about four times. After this initial settling period, twice a year is usually sufficient. The other reason pianos go out of tune is because of climate change. The wood in the soundboard of the piano swells as the humidity goes up, raising the pitch of the piano. Whereas when the climate is fairly dry, the wood in the soundboard flattens making the pitch drop. The drop in pitch in the dry times outweighs the rise in the humid times making the overall pitch of the piano drop each year that it is not tuned.
