Because if it had three valves, it would still have them?

Guess that can't be it, though, because strictly speaking, at most that would not tell you that it originally had four valves, only that it had four valves prior to its present state of valvelessness.

It's assuring to know my Martin Handcraft serial # 78940 will be worth at least twice that much considering the neighbors just commented on how great it sounds with the windows closed and text invited me to the Ocktoberfest party across the street! :lol:

Because if it had 3 valves, it would have ended up like this. :)
