# of tunings for new bass or twisting

    Hi all,
    I may be either twisting all bass strings, or replacing all bass strings (not treble at this point) on a 1934 George Steck grand.. Just wondering, for the purpose of providing a reasonable estimate, how many tunings might be required for stability. Tuning pins are fine, so no replacement at this point.
    My guesses are something like
    twist: 2 tunings
    new set: 4 tunings

    Sound about right?

    thanks!
    Scott
