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.

∙ 11y agoYes it is only brass instruments which have valves and slides. There are two types of valve the piston valve and the rotary valve.
The slide has two functions: the slide on the Trombone which allows the instrument to play a chromatic scale. Slides are also used for fine tuning.
