a flat is the same thing as g sharp. you play it with the one, two, and three finger keys down and the top spatula key, or the top key you play with your left pinky.
The alto sax is generally not known as "an E flat sax", as a baritone saxophone is also in E flat.
Farm out alto sax notes
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.
it allows the alto sax to make a different sound.
I think that the sax is cooler. It's partially because I play the alto sax, but I think the sax is easier too.

All the flat keys.
The tenor sax is in the key b flat and the alto sax is in the key e flat.
Play an E.
That would be your F scale.
Well the 12 major scales of the alto saxophone are C,F,B(flat),E(flat),A(flat),D(flat),g(flat),B,E,A,D, and G.
