Eb soprano clarinets sound a minor-3rd higher than written. They are smaller and have a different timbre, but the fingerings are the same. http://www.buffet-crampon.com/instruments/instruments_detail.asp?ID=592

EEb Contra-Alto clarinets are bigger than the regular bass clarinet. Here are some pictures of my contra-alto at the bottom of this webpage ...(its for sale!)
