First dead Fire Breath?
Then pray for a resurrection.

Q. just about? or a real Ab?

If its a real honest to goodness Ab that holds up to it's own,
one solution, while waiting for a replacement, would be to retune
1 blow & 2 draw down a semi-tone
5 draw up a semi-tone,
This layout is favourable for playing blues in 5th position
(pre 1985 "4th" - according to Tony Glover)

good luck with the recording
- BTW- what - & for whom- was it anyway?
