Hello Joseph and welcome to melodicaworld,

unfortunately these terms (alto, soprano, tenor, bass) are not too exact and they vary from brand to brand. When you want to buy a New model just have a look at these three charts:

This is for Hammond models and the next one is for the Suzukis:

And finally, the range oft the Yamahas:

Apart from that you can find information on this site:

I’m not sure if this is a reliable source, I’ve got the impression that he counts an octave lower than it really sounds…
