The use of valves changes the length of the tubing and therefore its resonant frequency.
Tuning of the instrument is done using either electronic tuners or mechanical Tuning Forks as a guide to correct pitch then the tuning slide is extended or contracted to set the base pitch.
However, its not often for brass instruments to need tuning. They are made in the the key of C as a majority, but have B-flat versions as an alternative. The tuning slide is normally set using the main slide or tube which comes from the mouth piece to the 3rd valve in the first instance. There are 2 other slides that are used that is first valve and 3 valve slide. C-sharp normally requires the 3rd valve extended even if the Trumpet is concert tuned.

How do you sound like a bugle on a trumpet?
Pick one fingering and only play those notes. Traditionally, bugles are tuned in G, so the equivalent would be 1st and 2nd valve on a B-flat trumpet.

Is sheet music for the clarinet the same as sheet music for the flute?
No but it is the same as the trumpet & piano(Afgncaap8 disagrees, saying that clarinet music isdifferent from flute, and that it is the same as trumpet, but the clarinet has different music than the piano! The piano is a C instrument, whereas the typical trumpet and clarinet tend to be tuned to B-flat. However, usually the flute and the piano are both tuned to C, so their music could be the same.)
What is the method of sound production for the Trumpet?
The lips produce vibrations and airflow which creates standing waves in the instrument. those vibrations are tuned and amplified by the bell into large pressure waves.
Are tuba notes the same on the trumpet?
No, tuba notes are not the same on the trumpet. While both instruments are in the brass family, they are tuned differently; the tuba is typically in concert pitch (often in C or B♭), while the trumpet is commonly in B♭ or C. This means that the same written note will sound different on each instrument. Additionally, the range and timbre of the tuba and trumpet differ, influencing how the notes are perceived in musical contexts.
What did the trumpet have before valves?
Early trumpets were straight tuned pipes. Then they developed crooks to change the pitch Then Keys were added around 1400. In 1788, Charles Clagget invented the first instrument valve. In 1801, Windinger of Vienna put five rotary keys on the first trumpet. The rotary-valve trumpet was designed in 1835 by Joseph Riedl The Stölzel valve,was invented by Heinrich Stoelzel in 1814. The valve trumpet available for purchase was by François Périnet in 1839.
