' wasn't implying any of that at all (I'm sure that both Matt and his tuba are both top-drawer.*), but it looks to me like those are the causes of what happened.

Often (to cut off time-wasting "over-negotiating" customers at my store) I'll just flat tell them what I paid for an item, and that the price that I'm asking for a particular thing represents the least amount of mark-up that I'm willing to accept...but since most people are so accustomed to being lied to all day every day by almost everyone, some assume that I am lying to them and continue to think that they can still negotiate a lower price (again, more time wasting).

Also, the "great intonation" thing (however true it may sometimes be - and again, probably true about this particular tuba) is as commonplace an utterance as "Have a nice day." (again) unfortunately.
