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.

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. In this case the key becomes A major, meaning that there are three sharps.

The E♭ clarinet is used in orchestras, concert bands, and marching bands, and plays a central role in clarinet choirs, carrying melodies that would be uncomfortably high for the B♭ clarinet.
