Why doesn't a french horn have a spit valve?
To get the spit and condensation out of the French Horn slide each valve out of their position in the horn and shake the contents out. Then turn the french horn around until all the water has come out. Then put each valve back in the correct place. For the key valves hold down each key while taking each valve out. That is how you get the "spit" out of a French Horn.

What is the overall design of a french horn?
A french horn is played into a mouthpiece that travels along a tube down and back up to a main tuning slide, usually containing a "spit valve". Then, it travels through a network of rotating valves and through a larger tube out. On a double horn, however, after the first network of valves, it can decisively travel through another tuning slide and through more valves to the same exit.

Why is the french horn so curly?
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:]
