29 Frets?

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. ;-)

Cammeyer described Farland's concert with "many notes stopped on the vellum itself".  I presume that was the case here.

I thought the same...I don't recall ever seeing it notated with fret numbers.
