I like the instrumentation (and the crank added some nice spice to the percussion IMO). Felt the mallet could've been brought down a little though, it's competing with the winds for the listener's attention. Song's texture is nicely warm and woody (bass tone is pleasant). I like the transition from a mysterious to a joyous vibe.

Thank you for your feedback, especially on my mixing! I am very new to the whole 'mixing' thing as I come from Musescore where mixing used to be quite difficult. That transition from mysterious to joyous (a "tritone modulation" to be precise) was quite hard to get right, but I am very happy how it turned out! Thanks again for your encouraging as well as constructive criticism :D
