∙ 9y agoNo, some brass instruments do not have valves. Most trombones do not have valves and just have a slide to change the length of the tubing. Another example of a brass instrument that does not have valves is the bugle. All changes in pitch are done by varying the player's embouchure on the bugle.

∙ 13y agoNo. Trombones, bugles and natural horns have no valves, piccolo trumpets can have four, horns can have three, four, five or six, but four is most common (std double horn). Tubas and baritones also frequently have four valves, and some tubas have five.
There are also keyed trumpets that have keys like a woodwind instead of valves, but they are archaic.

∙ 13y agoBrass instruments don't have reeds, but they do have valves. The sound is made through the mouthpiece, in which the player "buzzes" into it and then the valves are used to change the note. The faster the buzz the higher the note.

∙ 12y agoNo, the purpose and reason to adding valves is to shorten the physical length of the instrument in order to allow to reach a specific note, For Example. a trumpet without valves if laid straight without curves, measure about ten feet long, ...

∙ 12y agoYes, a trumpet, tuba, baritone, french horn... Almost all brass instruments have valves except for trombone.

What do brass instruments have valves reeds or slides?
Brass instruments can have valves or a slide, but not reeds. Brass instruments create sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument change the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. Reeds are used in woodwind instruments to vibrate to produce a sound instead of using a mouthpiece like in brass instruments.

What does the trombone have that other brass instruments do not have?
Unlike the rest of the brass family, trombones change notes by moving a slide instead of using valves.
What is brass instrument and family?
Brass instruments are played by pressing the lips together and blowing air to produce a buzzing sound. A mouthpiece projects this sound into the horn, which projects it further. The pitch of the sound can be changed two ways. One is by changing the pitch of the buzz. This will only get you a certain number of notes based on the key of your instrument (harmonic series). The other way is by lengthening your instrument. The longer the lower. On a trombone, it's easy to see. You push out the slide, the pitch goes down. On valve instruments, it's a bit more complicated. Pressing a valve opens a passageway so that the air can take a detour. Pressing a certain valve lowers the pitch a certain amount and you can get all the notes you want with different combinations of valves. On a trombone, it's simply how far you push out the slide.

What does the trombone have that other brass instruments do not have?
Unlike the rest of the brass family, trombones change notes by moving a slide instead of using valves.
What does the trombone have that instruments don't have?
A slide control. It uses a single slide valve rather than individual smaller valves to change the pitch of the instrument.

How does a player alter his notes on a brass instrument?
Brass players can alter notes in two main ways. One is to press down a valve combination(move the slide on a trombone), the second is to change the embouchure. There are seven different valve combination(with a three valved instrument, the same things apply for the first three valves of a Euphonium and double horn, both of which have four valves). In order from Highest pitch to lowest pitch, they are open, 2nd valve, 1st valve, 1st and 2nd valve, 2nd and 3rd valve, 1st and 3rd valve, and 1st 2nd and 3rd valve. Then to reach other notes you tighten or loosen your your embouchure, it takes practice to figure out how to change pitch this way; however, both ways are required to be able to play any brass instrument. As you learn a brass instrument you should have someone listen to you to see if you are in the correct partial (your embouchure is correct).

Which brass instrument is built with rotary valves?
I'm no brass instrument, but rotary valves are used for several instruments. French horns all seem to have them. They're pretty common on tubas as well. There are even some rotary valve trumpets out there. I don't know, though, anything about the advantages and/or disadvantages of rotary valves as opposed to the piston valves that seem to be more common for most brass instruments.
What group is a trombone in?
Typically, trombone players play trombone. Sometimes, trumpet players will attempt to play the trombone. They often must rely on valve trombones since the valve system is the same between the two instruments.
What brass instrument does not have a valve?
Trombones and bugles.
