I agree under normal circumstances that it is preferable to leave one's email address. But, there is precident for people being sued over posts that are considered libelous on bulletin boards. If they can't identify you they can't sue. Now considering that there is only one distributor for those tubas in this country it is pretty easy to identify who this post refers to, and he could consider the above statement libelous. Even if it can't be proven in court, the court costs of a civil suit brought by this seller could be a killer.

Saying that you don't like the way something is made, or the way that it plays is not actionable, but calling someone a crook may be.
