The Trumpet started out with no valves to press. It was very, very long with no bends, just a long cone. It was played in the high register where buzzing can create a wide range of notes, but because of it's size, the pitch was still low. Since then, valves have been added, improvements of metal and manufactering. and of course the kick slides that help it stay in tune. Hope this was the answer you were looking for.
