Hello everyone - I guess it's time to introduce myself. I've been lurking here for quite a while and have greatly enjoyed watching the exchange of valuable information. First, a little about me - I'm a professional oboist, primarily period instruments these days, and play with Boston Baroque, The Handel & Haydn Society Orch of Boston and Tafelmusik, plus lots of freelancing and traveling around the country with other orchestras. I also have recorded for Telarc, Music Masters, Vox, L'Oiseau Lyre and am featured on a recent Naxos disc. In the last 4 years I've also branched out to audio restoration and have done work for Sony/France, Boston Records and the National Flute Association. Now, my question: I've been asked by a small museum here in NH to digitize a collection of 78s, open reels and LPs. Since I've never done anything of this size the problem I'm having is "What to charge"? They are working with grant money and want me to submit my estimate of how much I think I can do with the money they have available. I can estimate my time but how do you translate that into a price? How do you all charge? By the hour, by the job? How? It might be best to take this offline and I welcome any and all responses. Cheers, Lani Spahr (Mr - just to be clear) __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
