CIVIL ACTION LAW
QUINCE EDDENS,
d/b/a VIOLIN MAKERS LIMITED,
Defendant,
AMENDED COMPLAINT
COUNT I - Breach of Express Warranly
1. Plaintiff, Seung Yun Kwon-Lee, is an adult individual residing at 51 Village
CoUrt, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055.
2. Plaintiff, E Hoon Kwon, is an adult individual residing at 51 Village CoUrt,
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055.
3. Defendant, Quince Eddens, is an adult individual, doing business as Violin
Makers Limited at 3300 Market Street-Rear, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, 17011.
4. Plaintiff, Mr. Kwon, went into Defendant's place of business on Jrrly 16, 1999
to purchase a violin for his daughter.
S. Plaintiffs had previously purchased two (2) other violins from the Defendant
for their daughter.
~,
" '.<,'
"t"
6. They bought a one-half (112) size violin, on September 30,1996, for Three
Hundred Five dollars and forty-three cents ($305.43) when she first began playing.
7. They bought a three-quarter (3/4) size violin, on November 28, 1997, for One
Hundred Ninety-Two dollars and ninety-two cents ($192.92) as she progressed in skill.
8. Each time they "exchanged up", as is the custom with youth violins, from the
previous violin size to the next greater quality and size to meet their daughter's improved
skill level needs.
9. On July 16, 1999, Mr. Kwon took his daughter's three-quarter (3/4) size violin
in with him to "exchange up" for the purchase of a new full-size violin. Defendant told
Mr. Kwon that the violin he was purchasing was made in Germany.
10. Agnes Kwon asked the Defendant, specifically, where the violin had been
made, because she was interested in European manufactured violins.
11. On July 16, 1999, after discussions over the make and quality of the violin,
Plaintiff, Mr. Kwon did purchase the full-size violin from the Defendant for One
Thousand Three Hundred Twenty-Five dollars ($1,325). After a credit of $375 (Three
Hundred Seventy-Five dollars) for trading in the three-fourth (3/4) size violin, Mr. Kwon
did pay the remaining balance of Nine Hundred dollars plus Fifty-four dollars tax ($954)
to the Defendant by credit card.
12. If Mr. and Mrs. Kwon had been told that the violin was made in China, they
would not have purchased it because of their beliefs that Chinese-made items are of
inferior quality.
" ,
',1 "
13. Defendant at all times represented this full-size violin as new, including the
purchase price asked for the violin ($1,325.00), which represents that of a new instrument.
14. Defendant repeatedly represented that the violin was made in
Europe or was of European or German origin.
15. On or about July 30, 1999, two (2) weeks after the purchase, Plaintiff,
Mrs.K won took the bow of the new violin back into the Defendant, complaining about
the quality of the bow, because it was falling apart. Plaintiff produced the pink copy of
her purchase receipt, which Defendant kept in his possession.
16. Defendant replaced the bow after first trying to say that Plaintiff was trying to
return a bow into him that had not been purchased from him.
17. On or about February 5, 2000, a Saturday, Plaintiff, Mrs. Kwon, took the new
violin to a reputable violinmaker for new strings for the violin and was told that the violin
was made in China, not Germany or anywhere in Europe.
18. On or about February 7, 2000, the following Monday, Plaintiffwcnt to
Defendant's place of business to try to get her money refunded.
19. While in Defendant's place of business, an argument ensued, in which the
Defendant asked who had told her the violin was not made in Europe.
20. Mrs. Kwon asked where the violin had been made and Defendant again told
her that it had been made in Europe.
21. Upon Mrs. Kwon's continued demands for the return of the money used to
purchase the violin, she was told to leave the store and was barred from returning to
Defendant's place of business.
, ~',-
, .
22. On or about February 7, 2000, Plaintiff, Mrs. Kwon, went from Defendant's
place of business, to a friend's house to request that she go to the Defendant's place of
business in order to assist in getting her money refunded. When Mrs. K won and her
friend returned to Defendant's place of business, Defendant would not allow Mrs. Kwon
to enter the establishment.
23. An appraisal of the violin in question revealed that the violin has "cleats" in the
back of it indicating that there was a separation of the back of the violin necessitating
repair at some time.
24. At no time after July 16, 1999, did the Plaintiff have any work completed on
the violin that would have resulted in the use of "cleats."
25. The existence of "cleats" in the back of the violin demonstrates that this was
not a new violin at the time of purchase by the K won's.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request damages in the amount of One
Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-six dollars ($1,276) representing the cash balance of the
purchase price ofthe violin and the value of the three-forth (3/4) size violin traded in at
the time of purchase; plus costs of suit, reasonable Attorney's fees, and such other and
different relief as to which the Plaintiff may be entitled. The amount claimed does not
exceed the jurisdictional amount requiring arbitration referral.
COUNT II - Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for Specific Purpose
26. Paragraphs 1 through 25 inclusive, of this Complaint are incorporated herein
accepted by reference.
,,^
v__
.
27. Defendant knew the purpose for which the violin was being purchased.
28. The Kwon's relied on the Defendant for his skill and judgment in supplying the
quality of instrument needed by their daughter for playing in the symphony groups, of
which she was a member, and for the music camp she was planning to attend.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand damages in the amount of One Thousand Two
Hundred Seventy-six dollars ($1,276) representing the cash balance of the purchase price
of the violin and the value of the three-fourth (3/4) size violin traded in at time of
purchase; plus cost of suit, reasonable Attorney's fees, and such other and different relief
as to which the Plaintiff may be entitled. The amount claimed does not exceed the
jurisdictional amount requiring arbitration referral by Cumberland County rule.
Respectfully requested by,

ANSWER WITH NEW MATTER
NOW COMES defendant Quince Eddens, d/b/a Violin Makers
Limited, to state his answer with new matter in response to
plaintiffs' complaint, averring as follows:
COUNT I - Breach of Express Warranty
1. Admitted upon information and belief.
2. Admitted upon information and belief.
3. Admitted.
4. [There is no paragraph 4 in plaintiffs' complaint. I
5. Admitted with clarification. The male plaintiff came
to defendant's place of business on July 16, 1999, with his
daughter.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs
purchased a one-half size violin from defendant in 1996. As to
'I'. >_ , -""',"3,.<r.',.';:',~~~,~' "_'~':" M C
the remaining averments, after reasonable investigation,
defendant is without knowledge or information sufficient to form
a belief as to their truth, and proof thereof is hereby demanded
at trial, if relevant.
8. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant admits
that plaintiffs purchased a three-fourths size violin from him in
November 1997. Defendant denies, however, that the purchase
price was $192.92. This figure relates to a case and/or
accessories plaintiffs purchased, not a violin.
9. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant admits
that the first two violins purchased by plaintiffs were exchanged
for full value when new violins were purchased from him.
Defendant denies, however, that this business practice is
customary with youth violins or otherwise. Many sellers of
violins will not provide a full, dollar-for-dollar trade-in
allowance for violins that have been used by students when a new
violin is purchased. On the contrary, many sellers of violins
will provide only the fair market value as a trade-in allowance.
10. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant admits
that the male plaintiff and his daughter came to his place of
business on July 16, 1999, with the express purpose of exchanging

her current violin for a new, full-size violin. Defendant
denies, however, that he told the male plaintiff or plaintiffs'
daughter that the violin that was ultimately purchased by them on
July 16, 1999, had been made in Germany. On the contrary,
defendant did not provide any information to plaintiffs or their
daughter about the provenance of the violin plaintiffs purchased
on that date, nor did plaintiffs or their daughter ask for such
information.
11. Denied. Defendant denies that plaintiffs' daughter
(Agnes Kwon) asked him where the violin had been manufactured and
further denies that she indicated any interest in European-made
violins. On the contrary, as noted in response to paragraph 10
above, neither the male plaintiff nor his daughter inquired about
the provenance, including the country of origin, of the violin
they purchased from him on July 16, 1999.
12. Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of this averment, and proof thereof is hereby
demanded at trial, if relevant. By way of further answer,
defendant notes that plaintiffs made no inquiry about the country
of manufacture for the two violins they had purchased earlier
- 3 -

from him, nor did they ever tell him that they would not purchase
any violin of Chinese manufacture because of any alleged belief
in the inferior quality of Chinese-manufactured items.
13. Denied. Defendant does not fully understand the
phrasing of this averment, particularly the words "as new in both
price and speech." By way of further answer, defendants avers
that the violin sold to plaintiffs on July 16, 1999, was a new
violin, that is, one that had never previously been sold at
retail or used by others (with the possible exception of
demonstrations in the shop to prospective customers) .
14. Denied. Defendant did not represent, not even once,
that the violin purchased by plaintiffs on July 16, 1999, was
made in Europe or that it was of European or German origin. On
the contrary, neither the male plaintiff nor his daughter made
any inquiry about the provenance of the violin purchased on July
16, 1999, and defendant made no statement about its country of
manufacture on that date or any other date.
15. Denied. The female plaintiff did not come to
defendant's place of business on July 30, 1999, to complain about
the quality of the bow that had been purchased from defendant on
July 16, 1999 or otherwise. Furthermore, defendant denies that

the female plaintiff produced a copy of any receipt and further
denies that he kept it in his possession. Last, defendant denies
that the female plaintiff brought the bow her husband had
purchased on July 16, 1999.
On the contrary, the female plaintiff came to defendant's
place of business several weeks after July 30, 1999, and when she
arrived, she brought no receipt with her or if she did, she kept
it in her own possession and never offered it to defendant.
Defendant had no need of the receipt, as he had his own copy.
Furthermore, the female plaintiff brought another bow to
defendant's place of business, not the one her husband had
purchased on July 16, 1999. See defendant's answer to paragraph
16 below.
16. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant gave
the female plaintiff a new, high-quality bow to replace the
missing high-quality bow that had been sold to the male plaintiff
and his daughter on July 16, 1999. However, the inferior bow
that the female plaintiff brought to defendant's shop was not the

bow that had been sold to the male plaintiff and his daughter on
July 16, 1999.
- 5 -

Defendant was concerned that plaintiffs or their daughter
had lost the new, high-quality bow sold to them on July 16, 1999,
and were attempting to foist a "cheap" bow obtained from some
other source upon him in hopes of obtaining a bow of the same
quality that had been sold to them on July 16, 1999. Although it
was clear what plaintiffs were attempting to do, in a gesture of
good customer relations and without any obligation to do so,
defendant provided a new, high-quality bow to plaintiffs without
charge.
17. Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of this averment, and proof thereof is hereby
demanded at trial, if relevant.
18. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant denies
that he told the female plaintiff that the violin had been made
in Europe. On the contrary, defendant has never provided
information regarding the country of origin of the violin, nor
was he asked for such information until February 7, 2000, when
the female plaintiff first raised the subject with him. The
remaining averments of this paragraph are admitted.

19. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant denies
the averment about the female plaintiff's activities after she
left defendant's place of business on February 17, 2000, because
after reasonable investigation, he is with knowledge or
information sufficient to form a belief as to its truth, and
proof is hereby demanded at trial, if relevant. Defendant admits
that when the female plaintiff and a friend returned to his place
of business on that same day, defendant refused to allow the
female plaintiff to re-enter his establishment because she
earlier had been loud, abusive, and threatening toward him
without provocation.
20. Denied. Defendant denies that the presence of "cleats"
in the violin indicates that it had been previously repaired.
Defendant further denies that the subject violin had been
repaired before he sold it to the plaintiffs on July 16, 1999.
On the contrary, if the violin in question has cleats, they were
either installed as part of the normal manufacturing process or
as a part of a post-sale repair performed by a violin maker other
than defendant. The violin was a new one and had not been
previously repaired when it was sold to plaintiffs on July 16,
1999.

WHEREFORE, defendant respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint against him, and to award
him costs of suit and any other and further relief as the Court
deems appropriate.
COUNT II - Breach of Implied Warranty
of Fitness for a Specific Purpose
21. Defendant incorporates here by reference his responses
to paragraph 1 through 20 above as if the same were set forth at
length.
22. Admitted with clarification. Defendant knew that the
violin purchased by plaintiffs on July 16, 1999, was being
purchased from him for use by Agnes Kwon, plaintiffs' daughter.
He further knew that she was a violin student at that time.
23. Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of this averment, and proof thereof is hereby
demanded at trial, if relevant. By way of further answer,
defendant states that the violin selected by plaintiffs on
July 16, 1999, was perfectly adequate for the purposes for which
Agnes Kwon was likely to make use of it and was within the price
- 8 -
,",0_'_
.Co-'
"''C_'--.
'.
range that the male plaintiff indicated he was prepared to pay on
that date.
WHEREFORE, defendant respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint against him, and to award
him costs of suit and any other and further relief as the Court
deems appropriate.
NEW MATTER
24. Plaintiffs' complaint fails to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted.
25. The "wherefore" clause in plaintiff's complaint is the
only place in which the monetary amounts involved in this
litigation are set forth. Under these circumstances, defendant
has not been given a proper opportunity to answer by way of
admissions or denials the assertion that plaintiffs have
sustained any monetary loss whatsoever.
26. As it happens, the purchase of the violin in question
was the subject of a written purchase order, a copy of which is
attached to this answer with new matter as exhibit A.
27. The violin cost was $850, and with a new bow and case,
the total purchase price was $1,325. A credit in the amount of
$375 was given for the violin, bow, and case being traded in by
- 9 -
~-, -, '>' -, !C, .. "-': '1--' "- -~"':"
'. <
~"
, :-~, n_
plaintiffs.
In addition, an additional $50 "goodwill" discount
was provided by defendant.
28. Plaintiffs have made no claim for the bow or the
carrying case in this action; thus, the claimed loss can be no
greater than the cost of the violin ($800, after discounts), plus
Pennsylvania sales tax ($48) or a total of $848.
29. Student violins, that is, those sold in the price range
of the subject one, are normally sold without reference to their
provenance.
30. Purchasers of such violins are interested in price,
sound, and appearance; because they are used almost daily by
students who are often children, they are not expected to "last"
for years or become collectors' items.
31. If plaintiffs had inquired about the provenance of one
of defendant's violins and then based their purchase decision, in
whole or in part, on that provenance, the sales slip issued by
defendant would have recited the pertinent provenance
information.
WHEREFORE, defendant respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint against him, and to award

COMPLAINT
COUNT I - Breach of Express Warranty
L Plaintiff, Seung Yun Kwon-Lee, is an adult individual residing at 51 Village Court,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055.
2, Plaintiff, E Hoon Kwon, is an adult individual residing at 51 Village Court,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055.
3. Defendant, Quince Eddens, is an adult individual, doing business as Violin Makers
Limited at 3300 Market Street-Rear, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, 17011.
5, Plaintiff, Mr. Kwon, went into Defendant's place of business on July 16, 1999 to
purchase a violin for his daughter.
6. Plaintiffs had purchased two (2) other violins at Violin Makers Limited as their
daughter, Agnes, grew,
7. They bought a one-half (1f2) size, on September 30, 1996, for Three Hundred Five
Dollars and forty-three cents ($305.43) when she first began playing.
,.",-
-- "'-""_.-,,:,,,.
~- "
8, They bought a three-quarter (3/4)-size violin, on November 28,1997, for One
Hundred Ninety Two dollars and ninety-two cents ($192,92) as she progressed in skill.
9. Each time they "exchanged up" (as is the custom with youth violins) from the
previous violin size and skill level to the next violin and quality to meet their daughter's needs,
,
10. On July 16, 1999, Mr, Kwon took his daughter's previous violin in with him to
"exchange up" for the new purchase of a full-size violin. Defendant told Mr. Kwon that the
violin he was purchasing was made in Germany.
11. Agnes Kwon asked Mr, Eddens, specifically, where the violin had been made
because she was interested in European made violins.
12. IfMr, and Mrs. Kwon had been told that the violin was made in China, they
would not have purchased it because of their beliefs that Chinese-made items are of
inferior quality.
13, Defendant represented this full-size violin as new in both price and speech.
14. Defendant, Quince Eddens, repeatedly represented that the violin was made in
Europe or was of European or Gennan origin.
15. On or about July 30, 1999, two (2) weeks after the purchase, Plaintiff, Mrs, Kwon,
took the bow for the new violin back into the Defendant complaining about the quality of the
bow because it was falling apart. Plaintiff produced her pink copy receipt, which Defendant kept
in his possession,
16. Defendant replaced the bow after first trying to say that Plaintiff was trying to foster
a bow onto him that had not been purchased from him.
;fii'ii'~
17. On or about February 5, 2000, a Saturday, Plaintiff, Mrs, Kwon, took the new violin
to a reputable violin maker for new strings for the violin and was told that the violin was made in
China not Germany and not anywhere in Eutope.
18. On or about February 7,2000, the following Monday, Plaintiff went to Defendant's
place of business to try to get her money refunded. An argument ensued in which the Defendant
asked who had told her the violin was not made in Europe, Mrs. Kwon again asked where the
violin had been made and Defendant told her that it had been made in Europe. After Mrs. Kwon
continued to ask for her money to be refunded she was barred from entering his place of
business.
19, On or about February 7,2000, Plaintiff, Mrs. Kwon, went from Defendant's place of
business over to a friend's house to request that she go to Defendant and help get money
refunded, When Mrs. Kwon and her friend went back to Defendant's business, Defendant would
not allow Mrs. Kwon to enter the establishment
20. An appraisal ofthe violin in question revealed that the violin has "cleats" in the back
of it indicating that there was a separation of the back of the violin necessitating repair at SOllle
time,
COUNT IT - Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for Specific Purpose
21. Paragraphs 1 through 20, inclusive, of this Complaint are incorporated herein
accepted by reference.
22, Defendant knew the purpose for which the violin was being purchased,
'~-~~ -~ ~
23. The Kwons relied on Mr. Eddens for his skill and judgment in supplying what their
daughter needed for the different symphony groups she was playing in and music camp she was
going to during the summer,
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand damages in the amount of Eight Hundred Fifty
dollars ($850) cost of the violin; Three Hundred Seventy Five dollars ($375), the value of the
trade in, totaling One Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Five dollars ($1,225); plus cost of suit,
reasonable Attorney's fees, and such other and different relief as to which the Plaintiff may be
entitled.

Defendant
REPLY TO NEW MATTER
NOW COMES the plaintiffs, Seung Yun Kwon-Lee and E Hoon Kwon, to state
their reply in response to defendant's new matter, averring as follows:
24. Denied. Paragraph 24 of defendant's Answer with New Matter does not.
contain an averment of fact, but rather a conclusion of law and therefore, does not require
a response. If defendant wished to challenge the sufficiency of the Plaintiffs' complaint,
he should have done so by way of Preliminary Objection.
25. Admitted in pllrt and denied in part. Plaintiffs admit that the "wherefore"
clause is the only place in the complaint that addresses the monetary amounts involved in
this litigation. However, as noted in paragraph 24 above, if defendant is challenging the
sufficiency of the complaint, he should have done so by way of Preliminary Objection,
thereby providing plaintiffs with an opportunity to amend the complaint as of right. By
way of further reply, defendant did address the claimed loss by way ofms New Matter;
therefore, he has had an opportunity to respond to the assertion that the plaintiffs have
sustained monetary loss.
'\
-',,-":'
-
-
.
26. Admitted.
27. Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs admit that the cost of the
violin was $850, and with a new bow and case the total purchase price was $1,325.
Plaintiffs further admit that a credit in the amount of$375 was given for'the violin, bow
and case being traded in by the plaintiffs. However, plaintiffs deny that the $50 discount
was a "goodwill" discount. Rather, the plaintiffs had requested different strings for the
violin at the time of purchase because Agnes K won preferred more sensitive strings. The
defendant gave the plaintiffs a $50.00 discount rather than re-string the violin, claiming
that he did not carry the requested strings and would have to order them.
28. Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs admit that they have made
no claim for the bow or the carrying case. Defendant had earlier replaced the inferior
bow he had originally sold them to the satisfaction of the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs deny that
the $50.00 discount should be applied to the purchase of the violin since the discount was
given in order to allow the plaintiffs to obtain the desired strings as indicated in
Paragraph 27 above. In addition, plaintiffs cannot retrieve the violin they traded in,
therefore they have also lost the value of that violin, case and bow, which has been
established as $375.00.
29. Denied. Most violins, even those in the price range of the subject one,
have labels or markings indicating the origin, maker or manufacturer of the violin, This
information is normally located inside the violin and is accessible by looking through the
,""-<
..
,~
left "F" hole. The subject violin has no interior markings at all. In addition, most violin
sellers inform prospective purchasers of the origin of their violins.
30. Admitted in part, denied in part. Plaintiffs admit that most purchasers are
interested in price, sound and appearance. Plaintiffs further admit that haIf-size and
three-quarter size violins are not expected to "last" as they are traded in as a student
matures and grows. However, when the plaintiffs purchased this full-sized violin, they
expected it to last.
31. Denied. After reasonable investigation, plaintiff is without knowledge or
information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of this averment, and proof thereof
is hereby demanded at trial, if relevant.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to deny defendant's
request for dismissal, and award damages, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees as set
forth in plaintiff's complaint.
Respectfully submitted,

ANSWER WITH NEW MATTER TO AMENDED COMPLAINT
NOW COMES defendant Quince Eddens, d/b/a Violin Makers
Limited, to state his answer with new matter in response to
plaintiffs' complaint, averring as follows:
COUNT I - Breach of Express Warranty
1. Admitted upon information and belief.
2. Admitted upon information and belief.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted with clarification. The male plaintiff came
to defendant's place of business on July 16, 1999, with his
daughter.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs
purchased a one-half size violin from defendant in 1996. As to
the remaining averments, after reasonable investigation,

. .
defendant is without knowledge or information sufficient to form
a belief as to their truth, and proof thereof is hereby demanded
at trial, if relevant.
7. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant admits
that plaintiffs purchased a three-fourths size violin from him in
November 1997. Defendant denies, however, that the purchase
price was $192.92. This figure relates to a case and/or
accessories plaintiffs purchased, not a violin.
8. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant admits
that the first two violins purchased by plaintiffs were exchanged
for full value when new violins were purchased from him.
Defendant denies, however, that this business practice is
customary with youth violins or otherwise. Many sellers of
violins will not provide a full, dollar-for-dollar trade-in
allowance for violins that have been used by students when a new
violin is purchased. On the contrary, many sellers of violins
will provide only the fair market value as a trade-in allowance.
9. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant admits
that the male plaintiff and his daughter came to his place of
business on July 16, 1999, with the express purpose of exchanging
:1

denies, however, that he told the male plaintiff or plaintiffs'
daughter that the violin that was ultimately purchased by them on
July 16, 1999, had been made in Germany. On the contrary,
defendant did not provide any information to plaintiffs or their
daughter about the provenance of the violin plaintiffs purchased
on that date, nor did plaintiffs or their daughter ask for such
information.
10. Denied. Defendant denies that plaintiffs' daughter
(Agnes Kwon) asked him where the violin had been manufactured and
further denies that she indicated any interest in European-
manufactured violins. On the contrary, as noted in response to
paragraph 9 above, neither the male plaintiff nor his daughter
inquired about the provenance, including the country of origin,
of the violin they purchased from him on July 16, 1999.
11. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant denies
that there were discussions about the "make" of the violin on
July 16, 1999. On the contrary, as noted in response to
paragraph 9 above, neither the male plaintiff nor his daughter
inquired about the provenance, including the country of origin,
of the violin they purchased from him on July 16, 1999. The
price paid for the violin and a bow and a case was $1,325. The
- 3 -
I
". ,- - ",~ ", . , , - . , ,
. -""'__T
. ~
",
,
.' ..-'
charge for the violin itself was only $850 (less discounts). The
remaining averments of this paragraph are admitted.
12. Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of this averment, and proof thereof is hereby
demanded at trial, if relevant. By way of further answer,
defendant notes that plaintiffs made no inquiry about the country
of manufacture for the two violins they had purchased earlier
from him, nor did they ever tell him that they would not purchase
any violin of Chinese manufacture because of any alleged belief
in the inferior quality of Chinese-manufactured items.
13. Denied. The purchase price of the violin in question
was $850 (less discounts). By way of further answer, defendants
avers that the violin sold to plaintiffs on July 16, 1999, was a
new violin, that is, one that had never previously been sold at
retail or used by others (with the possible exception of
demonstrations in the shop to prospective customers) .
14. Denied. Defendant did not represent, not even once,
that the violin purchased by plaintiffs on July 16, 1999, was
made in Europe or that it was of European or German origin. On
the contrary, neither the male plaintiff nor his daughter made
- 4 -

, .
any inquiry about the provenance of the violin purchased on
July 16, 1999, and defendant made no statement about its country
of manufacture on that date or any other date.
15. Denied. The female plaintiff did not come to
defendant's place of business on July 30, 1999, to complain about
the quality of the bow that had been purchased from defendant on
July 16, 1999 or otherwise. Furthermore, defendant denies that
the female plaintiff produced a copy of any receipt and further
denies that he kept it in his possession. Last, defendant denies
that the female plaintiff brought the bow her husband had
purchased on July 16, 1999.
On the contrary, the female plaintiff came to defendant's
place of business several weeks after July 30, 1999, and when she
arrived, she brought no receipt with her or if she did, she kept
it in her own possession and never offered it to defendant.
Defendant had no need of the receipt, as he had his own copy.
Furthermore, the female plaintiff brought another bow to
defendant's place of business, not the one her husband had
purchased on July 16, 1999. See defendant's answer to paragraph
16 below.

16. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant gave
the female plaintiff a new, high-quality bow to replace the
missing high-quality bow that had been sold to the male plaintiff
and his daughter on July 16, 1999. However, the inferior bow
that the female plaintiff brought to defendant's shop was not the
bow that had been sold to the male plaintiff and his daughter on
July 16, 1999.
Defendant was concerned that plaintiffs or their daughter
had lost the new, high-quality bow sold to them on July 16, 1999,
and were attempting to foist a "cheap" bow obtained from some
other source upon him in hopes of obtaining a bow of the same
quality that had been sold to them on July 16, 1999. Although it
was clear what plaintiffs were attempting to do, in a gesture of
good customer relations and without any obligation to do so,
defendant provided a new, high-quality bow to plaintiffs without
charge.
17. Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of this averment, and proof thereof is hereby
demanded at trial, if relevant.

18-21. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant
denies that he told the female plaintiff that the violin had been
made in Europe. On the contrary, defendant has never provided
information regarding the country of origin of the violin, nor
was he asked for such information until February 7, 2000, when
the female plaintiff first raised the subject with him. The
remaining averments of these paragraphs are admitted.
22. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant denies
the averment about the female plaintiff's activities after she
left defendant's place of business on February 17, 2000, because
after reasonable investigation, he is with knowledge or
information sufficient to form a belief as to its truth, and
proof is hereby demanded at trial, if relevant. Defendant admits

repaired before he sold it to the plaintiffs on July 16, 1999.
On the contrary, if the violin in question has cleats, they were
either installed as part of the normal manufacturing process or
as a part of a post-sale repair performed by a violin maker other
than defendant. The violin was a new one and had not been
previously repaired when it was sold to plaintiffs on July 16,
1999.

27. Admitted with clarification. Defendant knew that the
violin purchased by plaintiffs on July 16, 1999, was being
purchased from him for use by Agnes Kwon, plaintiffs' daughter.
He further knew that she was a violin student at that time.
28. Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of this averment, and proof thereof is hereby
demanded at trial, if relevant. By way of further answer,
defendant states that the violin selected by plaintiffs on
July 16, 1999, was perfectly adequate for the purposes for which
Agnes Kwon was likely to make use of it and was within the price
range that the male plaintiff indicated he was prepared to pay on
that date.
WHEREFORE, defendant respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint agqinst him, and to award
him costs of suit and any other and further relief as the Court
deems appropriate.
NEW MATTER
29. Plaintiffs' complaint fails to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted.

30. The purchase of the violin in question was the subject
of a written purchase order, a copy of which is attached to this
answer with new matter as exhibit A.
31. The violin cost was $850, and with a new bow and case,
the total purchase price was $1,325. A credit in the amount of
$375 was given for the violin, bow, and case being traded in by
plaintiffs.
In addition, an additional $50 "goodwill" discount
was provided by defendant.
32. Plaintiffs have made no claim for the bow or the
carrying case in this action; thus, the claimed loss can be no
greater than the cost of the violin ($800, after discounts), plus
Pennsylvania sales tax ($48) or a total of $848.
33. Student violins, that is, those sold in the price range
of the subject one, are normally sold without reference to their
provenance.
34. Purchasers of such violins are interested in price,
sound, and appearance; because they are used almost daily by
students who are often children, they are not expected to "last"
for years or become collectors' items.
35. If plaintiffs had inquired about the provenance of one
of defendant's violins and then based their purchase decision, in

whole or in part, on that provenance, the sales slip issued by
defendant would have recited the pertinent provenance
information.
WHEREFORE, defendant respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint against him, and to award
him costs of suit and any other and further relief as the Court
deems appropriate.

REPLY TO NEW MATTER
NOW come the Plaintiffs, Seung Yun Kwon-Lee and E Hoon Kwon, to state their
rely in response to Defendant's New Matter, averring as follows:
29. Denied. Paragraph 29 of Defendant's answer with New Matter does not
contain an avennent of fact, but rather a conclusion oflaw and therefore, does not require
a response.
30. Admitted.
31, Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs admit that the cost of the violin
was $850, and with a new bow and case the total purchase price was $1,325. Plaintiffs
further admit that a credit in the amount of$375 was given for the violin, bow and case
being traded in by the Plaintiffs, However, Plaintiffs deny that the $50 discount was a
"goodwill" discount. Rather, the Plaintiffs had requested different strings for the violin at
the time of purchase because Agnes K won preferred more sensitive strings. The
--n<!W
,
. ,
, ,
" ~
Defendant gave Plaintiffs a $50.00 discount rather then re-string the violin, claiming that
he did not carry the requested strings and would have to order them,
32. Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs admit that the have made no
claim for the bow or the carrying case. Defendant had earlier replaced the inferior bow
he had originally sold them to the satisfaction of the Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs deny that the
$50 discount should be applied to the purchase of the violin since the discount was give
in order to allow the Plaintiffs to obtain the desired strings as indicated in Paragraph 31
above. In addition, Plaintiffs cannot retrieve the violin they traded in, therefore they have
also lost the value of that violin, case and bow, which has been established as $375.
33. Denied. Most violins, even those in the price range of the subject one, have
labels or markings indicating the origin, maker or manufacturer of the violin. This
information is normally located inside the violin and is accessible by looking through the
left "F" hole. The subject violin has no interior markings at alL In addition, most violin
sellers inform prospective purchasers of the origin of their violins. "
34. Admitted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs admit that most purchasers are
interested in price, sound, and appearance. Plaintiffs further admit that haJJ-size and
three-quarter size violins are not expected to "last" as they are traded in as a student
matures and grows. However, when the Plaintiffs purchased this full-sized violin, the
expected it to last.
35. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without knowledge or
information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of this averment, and proof thereof
is hereby demanded at trial, if relevant.

No. 00-3331, Civil Term
DEFENDANT'S ANSWER TO
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO QUASH NOTICE TO ATTEND
NOW COMES defendant, by his counsel, Keefer Wood Allen &
Rahal, LLP, to answer the motion to quash notice to attend
recently filed by plaintiffs, averring as follows:
1.
[Plaintiff, E Hoon Kwon, serves as a Senior Manager
with Leumiere Ltd., and is currently residing in Seoul,
South Korea. The average cost of a round trip flight
from Seoul, Korea to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is
approximately $1500.00. Therefore, the appearance of
Plaintiff at the Arbitration hearing on November 8,
2000 would be excessively expensive in relation to the
amount in controversy.]

Denied.
After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of the averment that E. Hoon Kwon, believed to be
the male plaintiff in this case, is residing in Seoul, South
'-'-,n":'.,,-_,-,.,_, ,H__
- -r.)
_.-0
.,,-'~, .' ,--" ,,- ~'--:'- '-- ,," ~',
,"-'--~-
Korea.' On the contrary, paragraph 2 of the amended complaint,
filed just three months ago (on or about August 16, 2000),
states:
"Plaintiff, E. Hoon Kwon, is an adult individual
residing at 51 Village Court, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, 17055."
Defendant further disputes the assertion that requiring E.
Hoon Kwon to travel from Korea to central pennsylvania to attend
the hearing in which he is a plaintiff is "excessively expensive
in relation to the amount in controversy." The amount in
controversy is immaterial. Plaintiffs have brought an action
against defendant; defendant should be allowed to offer whatever
defense is appropriate, including requiring the attendance of
both plaintiffs. As revealed by Exhibit A attached to this
answer, E. Hoon Kwon was the purchaser of the violin in question.
His testimony is essential, as this case turns on the credibility
of the parties.
Rule 234.4(b) directs the Court to "... protect a party...
from unreasonable annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, burden or
1/ The motion is unverified, which takes on special importance because
plaintiffs' counsel has twice told defendant's counsel that E. Hoon Kwon is
uin the Korean military.H In this motion, however, he is shown as a civilian
employee,
- 2 -
.,-<",
expense." Requiring a named plaintiff seeking money damages to
appear at the trial of that case is not unreasonable.
2. [In addition, the earliest return trip would be a
minimum of 4 days later, which would require the
Plaintiff to miss at least 5 days of work. This would
be unduly burdensome to the Plaintiff.]
Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of this averment. By way of further answer,
defendant notes that E. Hoon Kwon's residence, as shown above, is
Mechanicsburg; moreover, it is likely that E. Hoon Kwon visits
with his family from time to time even if he is working in Korea.
3. [The notice to attend was not served reasonably in
advance of the date of the hearing as required by Pa.
R.C.P. 234.3(a).]
Denied. The notice to attend was served reasonably in
advance of the arbitration hearing. The notice was sent on
October 27; it was received, almost certainly, by plaintiffs'
counsel on October 30 (the following Monday). However, this
motion was not filed until November 3. Mr. Kwon would already be
in Pennsylvania if plaintiffs' counsel had asked him to travel
here at any time last week.
- 3 -
Moreover, defense counsel tried to serve E. Hoon Kwon with a
notice to attend earlier in October. Because of his
unfamiliarity with Korean names, counsel for defendant served a
notice to attend on October 10, addressed to Seung Yun Kwon-Lee.
Reviewing the caption in the amended complaint, it appears that
Seung Yun Kwon-Lee is the husband. Specifically, the caption of
the amended complaint reads as follows:
"Seung Yun Kwon-Lee and
E. Hoon Kwon, husband and wife." Based on this designation, the
first notice to attend served in this matter named the first-
named individual, believing that person to be the husband or the
male plaintiff.
Also, in defendant's response to plaintiff's request for
production of documents, served September 7, 2000, defendant
noted that he would be calling the male plaintiff as on cross-
examination. See exhibit B attached. Therefore, plaintiffs and
their counsel have known for some time that defendant sought to
have the male plaintiff present at the hearing. It is entirely
possible that Mr. Kwon left the United States after September 7,
2000. If his unavailability for trial had been revealed, a
deposition for trial could have been taken.

v.
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
QUINCE EDDENS, t/a VIOLIN
MAKERS LTD.,
Defendant
No. 00-3331, Civil Term
DEFENDANT'S ANSWER TO
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO OUASH NOTICE TO ATTEND
NOW COMES defendant, by his counsel, Keefer Wood Allen &
Rahal, LLP, to answer the motion to quash notice to attend
recently filed by plaintiffs, averring as follows:
1. [Plaintiff, E Hoon Kwon, serves as a Senior Manager
with Leumiere Ltd., and is currently residing in Seoul,
South Korea. The average cost of a round trip flight
from Seoul, Korea to Harrisburg, pennsylvania is
approximately $1500.00. Therefore, the appearance of
Plaintiff at the Arbitration hearing on November 8,
2000 would be excessively expensive in relation to the
amount in controversy.]
Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of the averment that E. Hoon Kwon, believed to be
the male plaintiff in this case, is residing in Seoul, South
.

Korea.' On the contrary, paragraph 2 of the amended complaint,
filed just three months ago (on or about August 16, 2000),
states:
"Plaintiff, E. Hoon Kwon, is an adult individual
residing at 51 Village Court, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, 17055."
Defendant further disputes the assertion that requiring E.
Hoon Kwon to travel from Korea to central Pennsylvania to attend

the hearing in which he is a plaintiff is "excessively expensive
in relation to the amount in controversy." The amount in
controversy is immaterial. Plaintiffs have brought an action
against defendant; defendant should be allowed to offer whatever
defense is appropriate, including requiring the attendance of
both plaintiffs. As revealed by Exhibit A attached to this
answer, E. Hoon Kwon was the purchaser of the violin in question.
His testimony is essential, as this case turns on the credibility
of the parties.
Rule 234.4(b) directs the Court to "... protect a party...
from unreasonable annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, burden or
1/ The motion is unverified, which takes on special importance because
plaintiffs' counsel has twice told defendant's counsel that E. Hoon Kwon is
"in the Korean military.// In this motion, however, he is shown as a civilian
employee.

; ~
expense." Requiring a named plaintiff seeking money damages to
appear at the trial of that case is not unreasonable.
2. [In addition, the earliest return trip would be a
minimum of 4 days later, which would require the
Plaintiff to miss at least 5 days of work. This would
be unduly burdensome to the Plaintiff.]
Denied:- -After reasonable investigation, defendant is
without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of this averment. By way of further answer,
defendant notes that E. Hoon Kwon's residence, as shown above, is
,
,

Mechanicsburg; moreover, it is likely that E. Hoon Kwon visits
with his family from time to time even if he is working in Korea.
3. [The notice to attend was not served reasonably in
advance of the date of the hearing as required by Pa.
R.C.P. 234.3(a).]

Denied. The notice to attend was served reasonably in
advance of the arbitration hearing. The notice was sent on
October 27; it was received, almost certainly, by plaintiffs'
counsel on October 30 (the following Monday). However, this

motion was not filed until November 3. Mr. Kwon would already be
in Pennsylvania if plaintiffs' counsel had asked him to travel
here at any time last week.

Moreover, defense counsel tried to serve E. Hoon Kwon with a
notice to attend earlier in October. Because of his
unfamiliarity with Korean names, counsel for defendant served a
notice to attend on October 10, addressed to Seung Yun Kwon-Lee.
Reviewing the caption in the amended complaint, it appears that
Seung Yun Kwon-Lee is the husband. Specifically, the caption of
the amended complaint reads as follows: "Seung Yun Kwon-Lee and
E. Hoon Kwon, husband and wife." Based on this designation, the
first notice to attend served in this matter named the first-
named individual, believing that person to be the husband or the
male plaintiff.
Also, in defendant's response to plaintiff's request for
production of documents, served September 7, 2000, defendant
noted that he would be calling the male plaintiff as on cross-
examination. See exhibit B attached. Therefore, plaintiffs and
their counsel have known for some time that defendant sought to
have the male plaintiff present at the hearing.
It is entirely
possible that Mr. Kwon leLk the United States after September 7,
2000.
If his unavailability for trial had been revealed, a
deposition for trial could have been taken.
