Bill,

SRV played in more than one key. You'll also need a Db if you're going
to jam with him much. It's been a while since I played along with any SRV,
but I recall many of the keys were "odd" because of the half step dropped
tuning. If the Ab isn't working, it's likely the wrong harp for that
particular song (assuming 2nd position).
