The Alto Saxophone is in the key of Eb which means that all the notes are a minor 3rd (3 semitones) below concert pitch. A D on the Alto Sax sounds like a real F.

What is the difference between alto and baritone?
Alto and baritone saxes are both pitched in Eb, but the baritone sounds an octave lower than the alto. Playing a written C on an alto produces the sound of the Eb below the written note. On a baritone, the note that sounds is the Eb in the next lower octave. To make that happen, the air column for any given note is twice as long on the baritone as on the alto, and the instrument is correspondingly larger. the mouthpiece and reed are also much larger on the baritone. Finally, many baritones are keyed to a low A, while most altos are only keyed to a low Bb
Can you use a sax reed for a clarinet?
Well yes and no. When you finger a note on alto and tenor the notes in the relative key (Bb for tenor and Eb for alto) are fingered the same way. So a C on an alto and a C on a tenor are fingered the same way, but sound different. On tenor it's a concert Bb, when on alto it's a concert Eb. But for fingering purposes and just generally learning the instrument, yes.
