tune, chip with oversized pins?

[John Ross]

Have you thought about a C/A treatment, instead of new pins?
Then it wouldn't need multiple tunings before becoming stable.

  hi all

  i looked for about thirty minutes in the archives for info on this topic, but i didn't find an answer and i didn't want to wade through 336 more results from google...
  i'm drawing up an estimate for someone and i need to know how many tunings to include.
  so i'm looking in the "G" piano works labor guide for installing an entire set of oversized pins, and it says it includes one tuning. now i guess i can understand only needing a tuning and maybe a pitch adjust if you replace and pull up-to-pitch one pin at a time as you go. but it seems that one-atta-time is slower than all-at-once gang style. 
  if you replaced all the pins gang style, you'd need to chip and tune a few times right?
  i think the question i need answered most is if i do it one at a time, which i can do pretty quickly, is the tuning going to end up pretty close to pitch when I'm done?

  thanks all
