Valves on instruments, such as brass and woodwind instruments, are used to change the pitch and alter the flow of air through the instrument. When a musician presses a valve, it redirects the air through different tubing, effectively shortening or lengthening the instrument's playable length and allowing for a wider range of notes. This mechanism enables players to achieve more complex melodies and harmonies while maintaining control over their sound.
