This is valuable. I would love to do a audio version of my book when it’s finished, but not sure I have the stamina to record it myself. I guess I could but it would take a long time to do so. Appreciate this. Thanks!!
I suggest that it'd be worthwhile to do some tests to explore what the experience is really like and how much stamina you really have. You might find a comfortable groove. In any case, thanks for the comment!
Good tip...thanks Kiran. My friend worked with her trad publisher to do an audiobook, and she did the recordings herself. I think you're right...it's not impossible, and I'm impressed you managed to do this with the music included and other complexities. I enjoyed listening to this instrument here. My husband loves unique instruments. He has a hummel, a psaltry, mountain dulcimers, a hammer dulcimers, some banjos, and a variety of ukuleles, which he plays most often now that his hands have arthritis. He has so many different instruments he has enjoyed. We have sold several other of his unique ones that he wasn't using any more.
Yes, it was, like I said in this post, rather challenging to get all the parts mixed together. Editing the audio isn't difficult, just exacting, provided you have a good tool to work with.
The harmonium definitely is an uncommon instrument in the US, though it wasn't always that way--they were hugely popular in the 1800s and early 1900s before electronics took over. Yet they are unique in their own way--a key characteristic is that it's perhaps the only instrument that doesn't require coordination between your two hands, which makes it quite easy to learn, at least in the basics.
That's pretty good news to me--I have left side impairment from MS so it would sure be easier than some of the other instruments I've tried to learn. My husband is familiar with the harmonium he said.
