[pianotech] Optimum way to stretch a new string

[Duaine Hechler]

I have recently put on a couple of new string for a church grand piano and I've been called back about 3 times to 
tune-up the string.

Since they use the piano every Sunday, what is the optimum or best way to stretch the string to keep in place.

Is the following way - a good way to break the string or will it take the stretching?

Twice now, I've pulled the string up to the next note (ex. G to G#), let it sit for a few seconds then tune it back down 
to (G).

Would it break going up 2 notes (ex. G to A) ?

TYIA,
Duaine
