A silver Conn 20k is creeping up on $9,000, so I guess it's not that unrealistic...

I get this all the time...

"Sure I paid 4k for it but it's worth 12K!!"

I call it the "Antiques Roadshow Effect" (ARE)

The article also said the tuba is 40 pounds. Could this be accurate? I don't think an unbalanced load of 40 pounds would be good for your shoulder, spine, posture, or disposition.

When he woke at 7 on Tuesday morning, he walked to his car parked in the alley behind his Minneapolis house. The rear driver’s side window was smashed in, glass shards on the empty seat where he’d left his tuba.

That's not "Minnesota Nice!!"

I'll check for you (for real, he lives about 1/2 block away from me).

The tuba got recovered. The idiot who stole it tried to sell it at Schmidt Music.
