[Harp-L] Key of "AB"??

[philharpn@xxxxx]

They got their shift lock on!

The key is A flat -- often called Ab (Big A little B)

CF: The often told story of the old retired mill worker demanding of Merle Travis: "How do you play the Big B Little B chord?"

It's a function of the querty keyboard (typewriter).

Hope this helps.

OBVIOUSLY, the online retailers are too dumb to understand terminology and take Ab to be the same of AB and don't realize there is no such thing as AB.

Hope this helps.

PS Chuck Berry like this key.

In perusing the online inventory of some major music retailers (Guitar
Center,  Musician's Friend), they often show harmonicas in the key of "AB".
   I know they don't mean "B" because they show those separately.   They
also have separate listings for natural minor and  country tuning.  So what
the heck do they mean by "AB"?
