🎵 What Is It
📐 Eb Alto
Key Eb — fourth above tenor Bb. Smaller: shorter slide, smaller bell (~18–20 cm). Brighter, focused. 6 positions (closer together). Faster passages.
🎵 Complement
Alto = NOT primary. Second trombone. Primary = tenor Bb (95%). Alto for special classical parts. Like C trumpet or F tuba — additional.
🎯 Who
Pro orchestral. Chamber: trombone quartet. Soloists. NOT beginners! Tenor → 3–5 years → alto. Smaller mouthpiece, different positions = adaptation.
🎼 Repertoire

🔷 Chamber & Solo
