Kun Shoulder rests:

Kun is exclusively focused on developing the most ergonomic, innovative, comfortable and affordable products for stringed instrument players. Kun products are made in Canada, using exceptional materials to exacting technical and aesthetic standards.

Over five decades, with Marina Kun at the helm, the company’s extensive research into materials and mechanics have fueled continuous innovation, producing the widest range of models on the market to suit all ages and physical types.

With quality paramount, Kun has been guided by two convictions:

— that a shoulder rest should adapt to the musician
and not the reverse;
— and that acoustic qualities are as important as comfort.

The result is a variety of simple but inventive adjusting and folding mechanisms, embodied in often-revolutionary materials to create a product suite that will please the most demanding string players.

Using Your Kun

Using your Kun shoulder rest is easy, and many of our products come fully assembled.

Aside from the mechanics of adjusting the rest, though, how you use it will be personal since each of us has such different anatomy. In that sense, there isn’t a single ‘correct’ position. Shoulder rests are ergonomic so it’s essential that you find the most comfortable position for your neck, shoulder and back while making sure you maintain good overall alignment. If you’re unsure about using your Kun, ask a teacher or other professional for help and tips.

Assembly:

While some Kun rests come fully assembled, the exceptions are the models that do not collapse: the Kun Original and Super rests.

With these models, you’ll need to remove the T-shaped over-moulded ‘feet’ from the box and insert them in the L-shaped end members.

The foot with the shorter brass screw goes into the wider end of the rest. The foot with the longer screw goes into the narrow end of the rest. You can twist the feet further in to adjust the height of each side.
