Initially it was just through a very enjoyable website (belonging to a TubeNetter) that I saw "valves" being referred to as "values". I thought it was just a typo, even though they were referred to as "values" throughout the website's content.
I'm starting to see the same reference in eBay auctions, and even though I realize that many of the people who sell tubas on there are not tubists, I'm wondering....
Can the piston or rotary contraptions on one's horn correctly be referred to as "values"? I haven't read any tuba-related tome that refers to them as such.
