I've been playing around with a 7 string banjo for about 6 months now and I'm am now looking for some 7 string sheet music. I'm currently working through what is available for the scan of Ellis' Thorough School for the 6 or 7 String Banjo which is missing pages but is still a pretty solid Tutor. I already found posting with The Devil Still Pursues Her and Horace Weston's Grand March which are both great pieces if anyone ever wants to tackle them on the 7. Grand March is looking to be a little demanding especially when I'm playing on a fretless but I love Weston's compositions. Anyways, any help in locating some pieces would be greatly appreciated.

My copy is a bit rough but I have added it to the JOURNALS and ALBUMS page
Thank you all so much for the assistance! This has truly been a wealth of information to be able to read. Does anyone have science to explain extra bass string reducing the power and brilliance of the top strings? I'm wondering if this would have had the same effect on early guitar banjos or if it was just a thing of preference. Does the drum head of a banjo just lend clearer tone to shorter frequencies?
