Did you also notice he called the pinky hook a "duck's foot". Doubt he 
has actually ever really seen a duck's foot. He has enough of the lingo 
do be dangerous. Fortunately, no one has placed any bids on it.

Had a similar experience a few years ago when someone advertised an oboe 
they were selling on eBay as a rare special one that played down to A. 
After looking at the photos I emailed the seller stating that the oboe 
had a Bb resonance key, not a low A. He responded very angrily talking 
about how long he had played (and like this seller that he was an 
expert). I didn't take it any further since it was clear he wouldn't listed.
