For More Pianos, Last Note Is Thud in the Dump
The tuning pegs might become stuck to the side of the pegboard holes they are in. Also, if the strings are not kept at the correct tension, there is a real possibility of the iron frame becoming warped or even breaking.

Same thing happens with a guitar if you leave it without strings or heavily detuned. The neck can begin to warp and become very easy to break.

That's also why you have a truss rod, to prevent/correct neck warping. I've never seen a neck that was easy to break though...
