English term or phrase: when a valve is up
When a valve on a real trumpet is up, the air blown by the player goes straight through the instrument. When the valve is depressed, a different air path is opened, which adds a section of tubing.The three valves of the trumpet add lengths of tubing to the horn of the instrument to lower the pitch.
