Timing! Long notes are too short than necesary, general tempo is too fast, try plaiyng with any classical violin recordings and with metronome. Notes themselves sounds not great but ok, but there is no microdynamics in notes you and it sounds boring. You attack is a bit harder than necessary.

One thing I would add to boris' is that your tone isn't always right on. It's about forming the right chamber in your mouth for the note to resonante. Your mouth position should be different for every single note and you're getting there when every note of the harp gets easier and easier to play and to attack, the notes sound sclearer, more stable... the reed resonates with the air in your mouth chamber. And you have very good control of tone to add some of that feeling that boris is talking about.
But in general I like it very much.

Well i didnt check it but.. the mic is really bad so the sound quality is only okay and because of that you cant really here the dynamics in it. It is alot better live shall i say?
I don't mean general dynamics. I mean dynamics of every note (especially long). It have to be different from beginning to the end. If it's not staccato or marcatto you have to start note a bit quieter, than make it louder, add vibrato and slightly reduce volume at the end of the note. And the note will sounds good. ---------- Excuse my bad English. Click on my photo or my username for my music.
