Couldn't help noticing this, though:

No...I was going to wait until 5 seconds left and bid.

This is very similar (the case too) to one I bought from Bandfolio maybe 4 years ago. It's thin brass, very light, plays reasonably well with good intonation, bore is on the small side and tone reflects that. It's OK when you want to give something to your kid who is starting 6th grade band and you don't know if the kid will decide to drop out of band after one semester.

Where's the puzzle? He played it with ease, and he can't play it. Words like that have such broad ranges of meaning, it's a wonder if we ever communicate at all.

Hey, I could say that about the oboe! I can't play it either, but I can get almost three octaves out of it, if I want to sound like a duck.

How do you stop someone from stealing your violin? Put it in a viola case!
