[Harp-L] "first flat" (was: 12th position terms)

["Gary Lehmann" <hqr@xxxxxxx>]

Calling 12th position "first flat" works for me--no matter what key you are
in, the "first flat" of that key is introduced--I discovered long ago that
you flat the seven and sharp the four to change keys along the wheel. So if
you are on a G harp, the "first flat" is the seven--the same note the
manufacturer sharped in order to play the G major scale--and that would be
the seventh degree of the scale, F.
I sincerely hope this makes sense to someone.
Season's greetings,
Gary
