It takes about an hour, costs around $70 in South Florida and needs to be done once a year (many say every 6 months, but this is for business more than anything... of course, the piano goes out of pitch all the time, but we can't have it tuned every week... well, a year is good, cause after that you might start hearing a difference).

That's an average for where I live.
