We are kicking off with a respectable model from Kun, a company that has a large following as they have been in the shoulder rest game for over forty years. They make a range of models, machined from a variety of materials and offer something for everyone.

| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It is a modern low-cost version of a traditional footed shoulder rest that won't damage your violin and presents good adjustability. It has a solid body design that provides great stability, it is modeled on their predecessors providing the same practicality in a cheaper package. |
Kun makes some great shoulder rests their contours are well-formed and the ability to fold the legs inward makes it a sensible choice for traveling with. |
