E-flats
Notes above Ds
E-flats are musical notes one semitone below E, or the keys that produce them on a piano or other instrument.
In written music, E-flat is notated with the flat symbol (♭).
The term appears in key signatures and chord names: The symphony is in E-flat major.
E-flat instruments like clarinets and saxophones transpose accordingly.
