The sopranino sax, pitched in E-flat, plays one octave higher than an E-flat
alto sax. Yes, the sopranino is in the same place in the saxophone "family"
as the piccolo trumpet is in the trumpet family and the E-flat clarinet is in
the clarinet family, though the Eb clarinet and piccolo trumpet ranges are
different.
