Joanna, I love the sound of my 25 wire Triplett. It is walnut and has a very warm rich sound to it. Anyone I have ever played it for seems to fall in love ...

This is pretty much exactly how I feel about my 20-bronze-string cherry Triplett! I do occasionally suffer from bass-range envy, and I was growing weary of...
Does anyone on the list live in Kentucky, or know of a wire-harper there? The physician that I have been working with (as one of his nurses) is moving to...
Hello I suppose this means I should stop lurking and introduce myself, since it feels like I'm all alone out here in Kentucky. I live in the boondocks in ...
Hi all, I've been lurking for awhile, but haven't really had much to add since I don't have a wire strung yet... but... I took the plunge on the last day of...
Hi Matthew, I have an almost 7-year-old Triplett 30-string wire. It's a nice harp--nice sound, lots of strings. The bronze has a rather long sustain, so I...
I've been lurking on and off for awhile and have enjoyed playing catch-up this evening. I'll be attending the Wire Harp week-end next month and I hope to meet...
Well, yes, I'm going to be in Houston. Last I heard. :-D And really looking forward to it! Since this is *the* group, is there anything practical you all...
HI Matthew - I have had a Triplett 30 for about 2 and a half years. The key to owning a Triplett wire, from what I've gathered, is to tune it when you get it...

Hi Cynthia! I think things have settled down sufficiently to take the plunge and change some bass wires. How far down should I tune the neighbor strings? A...

Thanks for the tuning tip Joanna! I’ll give your music a listen as soon as I get a chance. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi Joanna! You're too funny. I know some folks who have needed therapy after changing a few wire strings, but never anyone who needed to be locked up. :-D I...
Hey! I know that harp! I was in at Melody's back last fall just after it had come in from the previous owner. The harp itself was in good shape, but it was...
... Yay! I'm going, too, and I was wondering who else on the list was planning to be there. Although the discounted registration has passed, it's still not...
Thanks Beth... I'm not sure what its history was with its previous owner but it will *definitely* get played! It wasn't really a budgeted item for me either...
Joanna, Welcome to the wonderfull world of wire string changing! (Ack, putuey, yuck, argh, NOOOOOO...........) Not to argue with Cynthia, and not just to...
Looks like I am going too - (Our dear Cynthia persuaded me :) I still have to register - but the plan ticket is purchased. Look forward to meeting and seeing...
