Yea, I'm about 20 years rusty on the scales but I thought d-flat was the same as c#, not b-flat...

  Db and C# are "enharmonic equivalents". In 12-tone equal temperament, they're the same pitch, but in other tuning systems like just intonation they might be almost but not exactly the same pitch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic

    12-tone equal temperament being what virtually all modern western music is transcribed in and what GP probably learned.

      Yup, most likely what I learned and yet I'm still fascinated to learn more. Thank you both!
