[AvitalRom]

aaaahh, I understand what drove me mad here... Beautifully played, but the strings here are the opposit of what im used to- c are black/blue, and f are red!!

[jgkovac]

yes, very observant if you- Paraguayan style harps are strung that way

[AvitalRom]

I see :)

And the tuners built like guitar tuners (very special and looks comfortable to use more then the ones which need the key to be tuned)- is it also a character of Paraguayan style harps or is it your idea??

[jgkovac]

Yes , guitar tuners are commonly used on Paraguayan style harps, thanks

[AvitalRom]

That's interesting!

Thank you for your kind answers,

I enjoy watching your videos from over here in Israel :) very inspiring for me as a beginner harpist.

THANK YOU! and have a great evening.

[03Iris10]

I love harps =] This is a nice song

[cecelia11]

I am learning this song 8th grade in advanced chorus!

[jgkovac]

it is a great tune, but I think I played it too fast here.

[jgkovac]

it's a beautiful tune

[barcarox10]

I learned it in 8th grade orchestra!

[jodangaro]

Beautifully played. Although it is traditionally a mournful song, I enjoyed your approach to it.

[jgkovac]

thanks, i never realized it was meant to be mournful until someone else commented on yt.

[nordiclovely]

This tune is played in a too jolly way. Very accomplished though the harpist is the song is about evoking sad, past memories and should have a slightly mournful feel to it. Try reading one of the English translations of our beautiful Welsh folk song to achieve the slight melancholic feel!

[jgkovac]

I'm glad you told me. I had no idea. thanks

[emo666lis]

thats my choir song wow i could accually sing along

=]

[jgkovac]

great, an old Welsh tune

[eklerr]

Nice!
