In case anyone is confused, when talking about harp positions, "first flat" refers to _one more flat_ than the 1st position key.
(Just as normal position numbering essentially traverses clockwise around the circle of fifths, "xx Flat" position numbering traverses counter-clockwise around the circle of fifths (making a circle of fourths..).)
For example, on a C harp, 1st flat is "one more flat" than C, which is F. On an F harp 1st flat is one more flat than F, which is Bb, etc.
