Kun Shoulder Rests

For over fifty years, Kun Shoulder Rests has developed
the most comfortable, innovative, and affordable products for violin and viola players.

There are several models available.

Kun Original - The practical, uncomplicated design of the Kun Original shoulder rest, with its simple adjusting mechanisms, has made it the favourite of amateur and professional players alike.

For Viola, Violin 4/4, 1/2 & 3/4 and Mini 1/8 & 1/4

Kun Super - The Kun Super rest features an elegant, streamlined shape and a simplified size-adjusting mechanism to permit finite adjustment. The Super has slightly different radii, allowing players to choose a rest with, in effect, customized comfort. This lightweight model has become a favourite among the most discriminating players.

For Viola, Violin 4/4, 1/2 & 3/4 and Mini 1/8 & 1/4

Kun Collapsible - Modelled on the Kun Original, the Collapsible shoulder rest has ends that fold down for easy storage.

For Viola, Violin 4/4, 1/2 & 3/4, and  Mini 1/16 – 1/4

Kun Solo - The Kun Solo features a simplified, quick-adjust finger lever that provides ultra-fine size adjustment and eliminates screws. Greater width on the shoulder end gives the Solo added comfort, and a new collapsing mechanism with recessed and integrated drums means its ‘feet’ can be folded easily for storage. Patterned cut-outs in the Solo’s sponge rubber enhance its grip on the player’s shoulder and reduce its weight while freeing up your instrument’s sound.

The Solo is the perfect shoulder rest for players with long necks, and those who prefer a taller model.

With its sleek, contoured body and chic two-toned design in metallic bronze and black, the Solo is a dynamic and affordable addition to the Kun family of shoulder rests.

For 3/4 & 4/4 Violin

Kun Bravo - Kun developed the Bravo shoulder rest to meet customer demand for a wooden rest from Kun. As always, quality, ergonomics and innovation were our starting points. The Bravo’s base is made from bent hardwood laminates oriented to provide the precise combination of strength and flexibility a shoulder rest requires. These bases are hand-made in Italy from European curly maple to reflect the back of a fine violin. The Bravo’s metal adjusting mechanisms enhance the elegance of this outstanding product. The feet of the Bravo also incorporate Kun’s patented locking device to limit rotation. The highest quality sponge rubber, representing the latest in polymer technology ensures that the padding offers extra grip, greater comfort and maximum durability.

For Viola and Violin 4/4

Note on the Kun Original: the T-shaped feet on this model should not be removed to make the rest fit into your instrument case. Regularly pulling the foot and round drum out of the L-shaped end member and then reinserting it weakens the composite plastic from which the shoulder rest is made and can damage the shoulder rest. If you need a more compact rest,  try the Kun Collapsible or Solo model which folds for easy storage.

Note on the Kun Collapsible: The Original end members should not be replaced with Collapsible end members and visa versa as the dimensions are different and the fit will not be secure.

Notes on the Kun Solo: the Solo is intended to sit in a higher position. When adjusting it, be sure to leave adequate clearance between the adjusting tabs and the back of your instrument.

Also, while the Kun Solo shoulder rest comes assembled, you might need to replace the feet at some point. When doing so, it is important that you use one hand to hold the recessed drum firmly on either side, while the other hand screws in the foot. If you don’t, it will be difficult for the threads on the screw to catch on the threads in the shaft into which it’s being inserted.
