The valves on the Euphonium or any brass instrument are used to change the length of tubing, allowing the player to reach various notes. Each valve pressed diverts the air stream through additional tubing, causing the pitch to change. Most Euphoniums have 4 valves but some have only 3, and nearly all current models are piston valved.
