The Eb should sound as open (no valves depressed)--it's called a "false' or "privledged" tone. It sounds a little strange and takes practice, but you should be able to get it out of most any 3-valve BBb sousie. Alternate between the Eb an octave above to get a good sense of its pitch--you'll find that the range that you can "bend" this note is quite large, so a good sense of pitch is necessary.
