E-flat Alto Saxhorn

Since alto and baritone saxophones are in E♭, (meaning they produce an E♭ when playing a written C), in order to produce an actual C, they must play an A, which is a perfect third down from C.

When we say that an instrument is "in Eb", we mean that when you play a C. on that instrument, you actually hear what is normally called Eb. Sopranino, alto, baritone, and contrabass saxophones are in Eb.

An Alto is an Eb instrument because it's C is a Concert Eb. Same with all the other saxes (though half are Bb and half are Eb).

Baritone saxophone in E♭ sounds an octave and a major sixth lower than written. Many models have keys for low C (written low A) and high F♯. Related instruments. Sizes: Soprillo.

This is a category for all transposing instruments that sound music written in the key of C in the key of E♭, regardless of octave.

The alto saxophone is an E-flat instrument, which means that a written C played by an alto sax actually sounds like an E-flat. The tenor saxophone, on the other hand, is built half an octave lower. It's written in B-flat, meaning that a written C for the tenor seems like a B-flat.

Similarly, if an instrument is in the key of E flat, such as the alto horn or soprano cornet, then since an E flat cornet is 5 half tones higher than a B flat cornet, the E flat instrument needs to play 5 half tones lower to match the sound of the B flat instrument.

Low E flat on alto sax Finger the B, A and G notes on by pressing down those keys on the saxophone. At the same time your right hand (positioned on the lower section of the saxophone) need to be pressing down the E, F and D keys at the same time.

And E e for egg Aoife echo the letter e the note e. How do we play the note e. On our saxophones.

The tenor horn (British English; alto horn in American English, Althorn in Germany; occasionally referred to as E♭ horn) is a brass instrument in the saxhorn family and is usually pitched in E♭. It has a bore that is mostly conical, like the flugelhorn and euphonium, and normally uses a deep, cornet-like mouthpiece.

It has three flats. And all of them right there three flats three flats three flats three flats that's what tells you we're in e flat is that three flats. There.
