This has probably been covered before, but please educate me again. How
are the Bb or Eb Chromatics tuned relative to a "standard" C chromatic?
I'm thinking the Bb would be just a whole tone below, but is the Eb
lower or higher? If lower, I'm thinking the Eb might be useful for
playing alto saxophone lines "as written". True? And that would make the
Bb the equivalent of a soprano sax, right?
Thanks,
Jim
