I really question this. When I first got started, I gave clients a discount if they scheduled in six months. But after a couple of years I ditched this idea because I found that the pianos I saw in six months almost invariable required a lot more tuning than the ones I saw in a year. I was making less money for more work! So I doubt that tuning the piano twice a year makes it more stable. At least in my climate.
