Kun Mini Violin Shoulder Rest 1/8-1/4

The Kun Original 1/8-1/4 Mini Violin Shoulder Rest is a great option for violinists looking for a shoulder rest that is simple, comfortable and lightweight.

Kun shoulder rests have been the shoulder rest of choice for many violinists and violists over the last 40 years, with one of the company’s core values being that acoustic qualities of a rest are as important as comfort.

The Kun is often chosen as one of the more comfortable rests, with its classic, slender design and foam padding, however it is equally chosen for its acoustic properties and this is due to the lightweight materials used and the thin, over-moulded rubber feet that have minimal contact with the instrument.

Heavier shoulder rests and shoulder rests that have a lot of contact with the violin can affect the resonance of your instrument however, the Kun has been designed to minimise this.

Kun Mini shoulder rests are often the best fit for little players who have a slighter build as the body length of the Kun rests are shorter than the Everest. Everest also don’t offer a 1/16 size rest, so in this instance the Kun mini collapsible shoulder rest would also be the preferred choice.,,

Our staff have rated Kun rests as the best violin shoulder rests for beginners to professional players in regard to their ability to balance comfort and sound.
