Ali performs my Diferencias on her glorious-sounding Pecoraro (octave) mandola, which she endearingly calls "The Beast". For an audio impression of the wonders that this instrument, and of course Ali's unique artistry can work, you can hear her performance of Diferencias by linking to her own website (please see above), and following the Scrapbook link.
