Hi Cieavash,
I was wondering if you could help me. I am looking for a Ney tutor that can teach me how to play Ney (preferably Arabic style) in the Brisbane area. I have been playing for a short while, have a full set of Neys (7) that I bought from the Cairo Opera House a year ago, and was taking lessons up until I moved to Australia from England in January 2010. I would clasify myself as a beginner. Would you be able to offer lessons, or if not, do you know anyone else that plays Nay in the region?
Many thanks
Drew
