Can anyone tell me why Calicchio doesn't mark their valve 1,2,&3? I've looked all over the valves and cannot find any numbering of any kind. The valve cylinders are clearly marked (exterior) but not the valves themselves.

Every time I wash my horn, I carefully line up the valves so I can remember their order but, without fail, they always get mixed them up. Without the numbers, they're a son-of-a-gun to replace in the valve cylinders.

Am I missing the numbers or is there a good reason for not numbering them?? Maybe there's a trick I'm not aware of?? My Hollywood 1s2 was the same way :?

Thanks---<Rick
