Diatonic Guitar Frets

    3, 11 & 23 are Chromatic frets, called the 1 1/2, 6 1/2 & 13 1/2 fret respectively on the Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer. They aren't found on traditional Mountain Dulcimers, but are becoming more common these days. Some folks even build fully Chromatic Mountain Dulcimers. I built a Mountain Dulcimer with a 6 1/2 fret, and bought another without one, and I get screwed up going back and forth between the two.
    I think the idea of having the 6 1/2 is so that you don't have to retune
