Solution
1. E-double-flat note
Ebb is a white key on the piano.
Another name for Ebb is D, which has the same note pitch / sound, which means that the two note names are enharmonic to each other.
It is called double-flat because it is 2 half-tone(s) / semitone(s) down from the white note after which is is named - note E.
Middle C (midi note 60) is shown with an orange line under the 2nd note on the piano diagram.
These note names are shown below on the treble clef followed by the bass clef.

Treble Clef
Lesson steps
1. Piano key note names
The white keys are named using the alphabetic letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, which is a pattern that repeats up the piano keyboard.
Every white or black key could have a flat(b) or sharp(#) accidental name, depending on how that note is used. In a later step, if sharp or flat notes are used, the exact accidental names will be chosen.
The audio files below play every note shown on the piano above, so middle C (marked with an orange line at the bottom) is the 2nd note heard.

2. E-double-flat note
Ebb is a white key on the piano.
Another name for Ebb is D, which has the same note pitch / sound, which means that the two note names are enharmonic to each other.
It is called double-flat because it is 2 half-tone(s) / semitone(s) down from the white note after which is is named - note E.
The next note up from Ebb is Eb / D#.
Or put another way, Eb / D# is 1 half-tone / semitone higher than Ebb.
The next note down from Ebb is Db / C#.
Or put another way, Db / C# is 1 half-tone / semitone lower than Ebb.
