What size violin does the Kun Original Mini shoulder rest fit?

Answered by Roadie
The Kun Original Mini Violin Shoulder Rest is intended for 1/4- and 1/8-size violins. It’s a size-specific choice, so check the instrument’s size rather than choosing by the player’s age.
This black Mini version is listed for 1/4- and 1/8-size violins, making it worth considering for a player using either of those smaller instruments. The supplied best new price is £25.
Don’t buy it for a larger violin on the assumption it will stretch to fit. For example, the Stentor Messina 3/4 is outside this shoulder rest’s stated size range.
Correct sizing is the first check; comfort is the next. If possible, try it with the violin and have a teacher check the playing position before committing—matching the size doesn’t guarantee a comfortable fit for every player.
