For brass; the changed tuning is the reason, not the side-effect. A 3-valved brass has at least two options for most tones; a 4-valved one can have up to 4 choices | |

And isn't that 1&2 or 3 just for the written low E? The woodwinds have differing fingerings often to make moving between certain notes easier, but sometimes it can change the tuning slightly, too. | |

I am a brass player myself, and usually have at least 2 fingerings to choose from (we use valve combinations, not just single valves). I often hear conductors say "play that E with 1&2, if that doesn't work, try 3", but they rarely give such directions to woodwinds | |
