Hi. Let's talk a little more about valved brass instruments and how they work. As you can see this is a tuba, but it could just as well be a euphonium, or a baritone, or a tenor horn, or a French horn, or a trumpet, or a flugelhorn, or a cornet. They all work on the same principles. Today we want to talk about why your valved brass instrument is only in tune if you're using your ear.

Let's take an example. Let's say I want to play this pitch, and then lower it by a whole tone. You'll remember I need to press the 1st valve in order to do that. So let's take a step back and investigate exactly why that is that the pitch was lowered by a whole tone.

Let's say my tuba is 18 feet long, approximately. And, let's say that in order to lower a pitch by a whole tone, I need to lengthen my instrument by 1/9. So, if my instrument is 18 feet long, and I need to lower it by 1/9, 1/9 of 18 feet would be 2 feet, right? So, I would need to add 2 feet to my instrument in order to play a whole tone lower. And you'll see that this first valve is about 2 feet long. So, no problems so far.
