1 1/2 Fret: Using It And Getting The Most Out Of It is Aaron O'Rourke's step-by-step guide to the 1 1/2 fret on the mountain dulcimer, the extra fret also known as the 1.5 fret or 1* fret. If your dulcimer has one and you're not sure what to do with it (other than fumble over it), this book shows you.

Aaron takes you through the transition in a methodical, purposeful order, much like having him sitting beside you:

  • Getting used to the fret so it stops tripping you up
  • New chords, and chords the fret puts within reach
  • Using the fret as a melodic enhancement
