I rebuilt a "D" this Summer and it was finished in September.  I was
able to get very good stability in a couple of weeks.  I gave a key to
my shop to one of our best pianists and he practiced on it every day.  I
tuned it nearly every day.  I really believe that stability comes by the
number of tunings rather than time.  By putting on a couple of years
worth of tuning in a couple of weeks, it has become very stable quickly.
