I’d love to jump in here and explain why Triplett’s strings are wound the way that they are…. I have a maple Triplett Signature, so this is how my harp is strung. The winding begins closest to the neck because of the location of the hole on the pin thorough which the string is positioned. With the hole on the “inside” the only direction there is for the string to wind is towards the “outside”, ending up directly above the sharpening lever. See the photo below. The pins are tapered as was previously mentioned. My harp holds a tuning beautifully….
Hope this helps!
