Warning to all Mudcat members. A month or so ago I purchased a melodion (3 row)for a retired friend. The purchase started on Ebay, as the price did not reach the reserve. I contacted the dealer for the reserve price, a deal was struck,the item was listed (with photoes)as a perfect top class melodion with fine woods and inlays, no problems with bellows and reeds.I asked what keys it was in and received (dont know)As the person's I was dealing with were advertised as (TOM & JUDE EMANUELE) I should have enquired further,but unfortunatley did not. when the melodion arrived The fine wood was orange box covered with a transfere the inlays were transfere the reeds and bellows were stuffed. Although I have tryed to contact T& Jto get in touch with my friend all I get is a terse reply. SO MUTCATTERS BEWARE OF TOM &JUDE Ebay name judde
