THe problem with the shoulder rest is, that one foot that grip after the violin the screw is stripped. Which means it does not hold. It is a lemon.

I have used numerous shoulder rests over the years. The Kun Solo is by far the best. I am of the old school. My teacher told me to get used to the pain, it will go away in time. The Kun rest corrects posture, eliminates pain, and frees up the left hand to glide up and down the violin neck.

Cons:- Without extra long foot (which alone costs half the price of the rest itself) it was unusable for me. And I knew that beforehand so I've ordered that extra long foot and once attached - that's a comfortable shoulder rest for me. If you have a long neck, prepare to pay more and wait more for the delivery.- Appears to be fully plastic (with some slightly rubbery parts on the foot and brass-like screws). Even the nuts for the foot screws are plastic. I have ruined that thread accidentally during feet swap, then basically had to re-thread it with the foot screw and the foot is now slightly misaligned (angled). Doesn't really affect further usage but contributes to an impression of a cheap product.Pros:- Sliding bracket speeds-up retraction, easy to store, it's more compact than a regular Kun I had previously.- Nice grip probably thanks to those slots in the foam.Neutral:- feet don't swivel like on some other rests.

Très bon coussin. Facile à ajuster, et plus confortable que l'ancien...il faut dire que le mien datait déjà d'une trentaine d'années. Donc très heureuse du changement.

I had a Kun Collapsible 4/4 shoulder rest for decades which was very comfortable, adjustable, and light. The Kun Solo Shoulder Rest out engineers the Kun Collapsible, wish I’d upgraded earlier.It is more comfortable because it’s built strong by creating an arced triangle structure that rests on the player with inward pointing feet for stability making it stick to the instrument even when not in playing position, it adds surface area to pad area, the pad is also soft but firm and the slotted pattern greatly improves grip, no sliding here.It’s adjustable both when attached and when collapsed for storage, like the Kun Collapsible the feet turn 90 degrees from storage position to playing position but improves hinge mechanism by simplifying it and adding lateral mass so that feet don’t giggle. The inward pointing feet is a genius innovation, it allows rubber feet to grip the instrument firmly but gently and the feet slide on a tabbed track removing the need to add mass by having two removable screws like in the Kun Collapsible or other competing shoulder rests. The feet have a large vertical range to fit people with tall or short neckline.It’s light to the advantage of the player, it’s plastic construction is correct because it doesn’t add unnecessary mass and accomplishes the purpose of allowing the instrument to project without dampening the bottom plate of the violin. Some may not find the plastic construction attractive, but it’s important because violins are wood instruments. Having things like wood or metal as the main construction material for a shoulder rest may look nice but adds risk of damage to the instrument because they’re hard materials. The Kun Solo is carefully designed from the beveled edges, replaceable/extendable rubber feet, and slanted surface that connects feet to shoulder pad. Even the little tabs to slide the feet are rounded and arced as precautionary foresight to allow them to bend in case the player accidentally installs them too close to the instrument so that pressure is applied on them with the bottom plate, which you should be careful not to do as described in instructions (this is something you should not allow to happen on any shoulder rest, for any shoulder rest with feet only the feet should contact the violin and allow the bottom plate to vibrate).In conclusion, this is a professional shoulder rest, yet it’s accessible at it’s price. I am certainly impressed at the attention to detail. It’s like looking at the intricate construction of a violin, but for a shoulder rest, much experience has gone into its design. Good work Kun, keep it up!

It is very comfortable and props up my violin from my shoulder at a good level. Makes playing less straining on my shoulders.

Muy buena, aunque es un poco cara. Sigue siendo de plástico, como la normal. Pagas un diseño diferente

Excellent product recommended by my child's violin instructor. Glad to be able to find it easily on Amazon as I live in a rural area. Came faster than expected delivery date. LOVE that Kun supports so many Canadian music programs.
