I do it because it's easy and grips so well. Haven't noticed any disdain one way or another, though. Whatever works, right? |

It's not necessary — few things are — but it helps me a lot.

As stated, strings do not "stretch". The process that the strings must undergo to settle into stability is sometimes called "seating" or "bedding", and it can be hastened by adding a bit more tension to assist the process.
I simply use the thumb and index finger of my right hand, giving each string a twisting motion to seat them. Tune to pitch, twist, re-tune to pitch, repeat the process until the string no longer drops in pitch when the twist is applied. |
