Extra-Long Fork for Kun Shoulder Rests (4/4 Violin and Viola)

It's amazing that they have parts for this shoulder rest and the price is amazing. I use it for 5 years,and Love it and it is strudy,it is light, and soft and the quality is very good shoulder rest. It arrived as they said and it fits to my shouldert rest. Everything is fine.

This product makes the violin more comfortable to use if you have a long neck. I would not play a violin with out some sort of aid that takes the strain off of your neck. The Extra-Long Fork is easy to use and well made.

My favored shoulder rest (after trying several) has been the Kun, both for the design of the rest itself, and for the feet, which cling to the sides of the violin well. This extra-long foot gave me just the extra height I needed to feel comfortable enough to not crane my neck. I compliment the Kun rest with a Teka chin rest and it is a comfortable fit for my needs.

My neck has always been too long for most of the inexpensive shoulder rests on the market, including the standard Kun models. But Kun has always fit my collarbone best, so I’ve made due with some redneck engineering/additional pads on my shoulder or chin rest. I can’t believe I didn’t find these sooner. Huge relief in back pain and my shoulders are way relaxed now. It doesn’t sound like this would make much difference based on the screw height not being THAT much different than the original but TRUST ME… even a quarter of an inch makes an enormous difference! And now my screws aren’t randomly falling off my Kun from being at their maximum length. Thank you Kun for providing these!

The rubber parts were very stiff and not the same as the previous version. I wonder whether this is the genuin Kun shoulder rest. I would not recommend others.

I have a very tall daughter and her next was hurting from playing her viola. She was getting frustrated. Added these extended screws to the rest and presto happy viola player again!!

As I begin to learn vibrato, the stability of the violin body becomes more critical. This extension allows good posture and stability without added pressure on the chin pad. Wish I'd known earlier! This fits an Everest rest as well as Kun.

Most people buy this because they have a long neck. That's not me. I bought it because I hate having the violin rotated so that when I play on the E sting, the bow hits me in the crotch (when I am seated). I put this leg on the chest side of the shoulder rest and left the shortest leg on the shoulder side. Problem solved. The shoulder rest is so comfortable, I don't even feel it and now my violin is much more level. Win, Win. Thanks, Kun!
