    ▶️ More Zelda Harp Covers: • Revali's Theme - Zelda...
    Hi everyone! Today we return to a Zelda classic... My original harp cover of Zelda's Lullaby on pedal harp was the third video I ever made! (You can find it here if you want: • Zelda's Lullaby - Harp... )
    A few months ago I was working on publishing the sheet music for that arrangement, and I wanted to make a lever harp version that was accessible to more harpists; and heck, even I've been requested to play Zelda's Lullaby at outdoor events where I bring my lever harp, so it was useful for me too!
    I hope you enjoy the video and that it can bring some peace to your day :)
    The harp in this video is a Heartland Harps Legend.

    Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy this new celtic harp version of Zelda's Lullaby. A few months ago I was working on publishing the sheet music for my old arrangement, and I wanted to make a lever harp version that was accessible to more harpists. Zelda's Lullaby has a lot of chords that need lever changes, so figuring out how to make that work was a bit of a challenge because I didn't want to change any of the harmonies, and I'm pretty happy with the result!
    I hope this video could bring some peace to your day :) Take care out there!
