A skip-valved Kite brass instrument has 4 valves that lower the pitch by 2\41, 4\41, 8\41 and 16\41. Skip-valved is analogous to the skip-fretting of a [[Kite Guitar|Kite guitar]]. Each fret is 2\41, so these valves are for 1, 2, 4 or 8 frets respectively. Various valve combinations lower the pitch by 1 to 15 frets. (A 1\41 valve is actually physically difficult to make, since the tube length is so short.) | A skip-valved Kite brass instrument has 4 valves that lower the pitch by 2\41, 4\41, 8\41 and 16\41.
