graf-martinez DVDs in UK? 
Does anyone know if the Gerhard Graf-Martinez DVDs and books can be bought anywhere in the UK? I tried looking for the El Mundo Flamenco , London shop on the net but cant seem to find it anymore.

Also, could anyone out there tell me how these DVDs compare to the Oscar Herrero ones, I am an 'intermediate' player looking for new material and as always, technical refinement.

Many thanks.

also Chappell of Bond Street, Blackwells etc.

Try these for starters. They had the books on Amazon so it may be worth trying there too.

For more info on the DVDs, see my review in the resources section of the forum.

I don't know why the El Mundo shop disappeared from the web either

Mucho thanks for the help Jon,

I did read your review and then got the books and DVDs from Schott.
I found this stuff quite interesting, the clear explanations of counting I found helpful and it was nice to see the PDL picado position so boldly stated.
I do have a few reservations though, I am not totally convinced by this guys playing, he doesn't exactly blow you away does he!, all the exercises (Eg. picado) are demonstated slowly and never really at any speed and musically the falsetas are a little mediocre, Martinez' playing is not what I would call graceful or inspiring.

Having said this a few bits and bobs were of interest and will keep me occupied for a while until I get another Encuentro video, the Nunez maybe.

Thanks again,

JR
