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.

There are many brass instruments smaller than a tuba, because the tuba is the largest of the brass instruments. The instruments smaller than it in order from largest to smallest are: Baritone Horn, Euphonium, Trombone, Trumpet, Cornet, Piccolo Trumpet.
What material is the french horn made of?
It depends on the maker. Many use nickel or brass. Some use rose brass (different color and a slightly darker sound). Brass is a slightly darker sound than nickel. Yamaha makes their valves out of an alloy (combination) of metals. This combination is more reactive to the saliva of certain people, and this may cause the valves on Yamahas to stick for some people. For this reason, it is important that you properly maintain the horn or simply do not buy a Yamaha if you find that you have this reactive saliva.
