What is the difference between the B flat soprano sax and the E flat Soprano Sax?
A B-Flat soprano sax is in the same key as a trumpet, clarinet, tenor sax, etc.. This is the most common soprano sax. If you were in band you'd probably be playing one of those parts as most band arrangements don't have a soprano sax part. An E-flat soprano sax is in the same key as an alto sax, or a bari sax. Sopranos in this key are less common & if you played this one in band they'd probably stick you with a alto sax part. My opinion is to get a b-flat as that is the most popular key for soprano & has more opportunities just in case the band actually does need a soprano, you'd be able to play the part.
