29 Frets?

[Trapdoor2]

Well, I can't say that I've ever seen a 29-fret banjo!

This is from the J. H. Jennings collection Joel has on his Internet Archive site. "Derby Day Galop de Concert". To his credit, he does include an alternate three measures that aren't in the cheese-slicer/nosebleed section. ;-)

For some silly reason, I didn't even think of an extended fretboard on a regular banjo. I have several, but they're on banjeaurines.
