since there are so many valves, and they are rotory valves, there are actual tubes for each valve, including a valve for the trigger and a valve for no buttons as well. there are not as many valves on the Trumpet because they have a different type of valves: the valves of the trumpet work like when you press down the button, the actual valve moves and a hole opens so it shows that the button was pushed down so the pitch comes through. there is only one necessary tube on the trumpet, because the valves are just holes in the tube. this is different on horn, because there are different tubes for each valve. the horn valves are rotors, so when you press down the button, the rotor moves and opens a hole. there is a different rotor for each valve, which means that every valve MUST have its own tube. this is why there are so many tubes on the horn:]

Why is a french horn so curly?

There are two factors. One is that the length of the tubing required for the horn would, if straightened out, make a very long and unwieldy horn (you know that horn they use in the Ricola commercials?), so they curl it up instead. The other is just to give it a decorative shape.
