Subject: [Radif] long distances ney dvd - instruction

Dear Reader,
i have a keen interest in the iranian ney, but i live along way from
london and other iranian music lovers.

i have been playing ney for several years and i find i am not
progressing in technique or musical understanding.

i have heard there are instruction dvds [for example the tombak]
thant can help the beginner progress.

does anyone know if there is such a dvd for the iranian ney?

i have 2 tutor books from iran but they are writen in persian, i can
read notation and have worked out as much as i can from the
drawings/pictures etc.

for example: how to achieve the top range notation? by placing the
ney in a different position of the teeth or altering the tongue in
the same position? it is questions like these which would be easy to
answer by speaking to someone.

also another question is how to begin to learn a dastargh, or radif?
which is the best one to start with? how to go about it?

if you do not know of such an instruction method perhaps someone can
correspond so i can get started in improving my knowledge.

many thanks for any help,
kevin
