What is true of it

E♭ harmonic minor is E♭, F, G♭, A♭, B♭, C♭ and D, and back to E♭.

Its steps are W – H – W – W – H – W+H – H, where W is a whole step and H a half.

On the same tonic, E♭ natural minor differs from it by exactly one note.

Across the first twelve frets of the ukulele its notes fall in 28 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
