A Trumpet valve is a cylindrical fitting with holes bored in it to match the tubing corresponding with the valves position on the horn. As each valve is moved in correlation with the other valves, and its adjacent tubing, the length of the horn is changed to alter the pitch. (Theoretically, you are tuning the instrument to a different pitch with each "fingering.")
