A shorter instrument like the piccolo or the clarinet have a higher pitch as opposed to say a Tuba or a baritone saxophone which have a lower pitch.
Higher
The Alto Saxophone is in the key of E flat. That means that an E flat on the Alto Saxophone is the same pitch as a C on a piano or other concert pitch instrument.
a soprano is straight like clarinet and usaully gold colored and the alto is curved on the bottom it makes a 180 degree turn outward. and a soprano sax is smaller and often straight instead of curved. it is pitched at B flat as opposed to E flat. alto sax is the most common saxophone. musicmoo :) Soprano sax is sometimes semicurved and sometimes straight. It has the same pitch as a tenor sax whereas an Eb alto sax is the same pitch as a baritone sax. hope this helps, Saxesofevil and walt899
The saxophone has been modified over the years but not hugely. the f# key has been added to the saxophone for it to be played a semitone higher

sucking in helium makes the pitch higher
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. A higher frequency produces a higher pitch, while a lower frequency produces a lower pitch. The faster the vibrations in the sound wave, the higher the pitch will be.

Alto saxophones are in Eb
Sopranissimo
It kind of depends on the saxophone. Maybe an alto or baritone saxophone would be about the same pitch or lower. A tenor saxophone definitely would sound lower.
