Sometimes I'm very gingerly and gentle with my (new) strings, and other times, I beat the heck out of them so I can get them to hold a tune immediately.
As it stands, I could care less about how much longevity to shoot for, as I time my batter changes/ string changes / audiologist visits / dental appointments, all on the exact same 6 month intervals...
