    To answer your question at the end of the video, I wound up here because I heard a song from a game and wanted to write the song's score down to play along with it later on guitar. However, I have zero experience writing music for harp and my knowledge of music theory is fairly basic so in my cuurent predicament, I'm struggling to accurately write down what I'm hearing the harp play. I was able to get the guitar parts down pretty easy since it was just 4 measures of a 2 chord arpeggio that repeat. If anyone's wondering, the song is "The End" from Pokémon Sun/Moon & Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon. It plays at the very end of the credits once you beat the game. The song only lasts as long as you stay on the screen playing it and you can never hear it again once you progress past that point! It's also incredibly hard to find videos of the song with a decent amount of it playing which is the reason why I started this whole self-project. I've done this a couple of other time with a few other songs, some I were able to complete and others still remain unfinished because I lack musical knowledge for a certain instrument. I'll hafta look more into the bisbigliando technique since I think that's what's playing where I'm getting stuck.

    7:58 All Trombone/euphonium players: Must be nice to not change the principles behind how your instrument works when you change. That said, the slide positions and fingerings map well onto each other. Of course, as a trombone/euphonium player you never know what clef you are going to get.
