<< I just saw a video today showing severall ( 3 or 4 ) twists of the string
before putting it on the hitch pin  explaining that this procedure is
necessary to prevent the rattle or buzz in the next years to come. 
 Anny comments about the right procedure(s) of twisting are welcome. Thank
you.

The amount of turns indicated above is excessive.  The way you described that
you usually do it is considered proper.  Only in an attempt to remedy a very
bad sounding string would you ever twist it more than two full turns.
