most brass instruments have valves that you press down to make the length of the instrument change therefore changing the pitch

most brass instruments do but the correct answer was Rotors :/ It was hard for me to understand because no where in our lesson it says this.

Most brass instruments have valves were you push down and the entire valve moves up and down. French Horn on the oher hand when you push the keys down it moves a rotary valve to change the air flow instead of pushing down a valve.
