That would be the Trombone. The trombone has a main slide instead of valves to alter the length of tubing that the vibrating air has to travel through to change the pitch of notes. All brass instruments have tuning slides to slightly lengthen or shorten the tubing length to help tune the instrument.

Why does a brass instrument sound flat when cold?

Brass instruments go flat when cold because the metal shrinks slightly when cold causing the pitch to go flat. It is similar to the effect of pushing in a tuning slide when the instrument's pitch is sharp (it shortens the length of the instrument).As the instrument warms, the metal expands, raising the pitch similar to pulling out the tuning slide.
