played anywhere, an Eb sure but I have never heard that anywhere but in a band or in an orchestra where there are great parts but not a lot of them. There are also some solo works for Eb.

I do not know enough about music from Mexico to speak about that, I dearly love it but actually know nothing about it.

My guess is you are hearing Bb clarinets, they can go quite high but probably just sounded higher than the other instruments.
