Kun Super Violin Shoulder Rest — 4/4 Full Size, Black, Made in Canada (51704)

The Kun Super Violin Shoulder Rest (SKU: 51704) is Kun's lightweight, streamlined shoulder rest for full-size 4/4 violin — a different model from the Kun Collapsible, built around a simplified end member mechanism for added strength and an elegant form that reduces weight without compromising function. Black finish. Made in Canada. The Super is the preferred choice for players who want the minimum weight and a cleaner profile on the instrument, and who do not require the folding feet of the Collapsible model.

Angkor Music — Kun Super vs Kun Collapsible: Which Model Suits Your Playing

Kun makes several shoulder rest models and the choice between them is worth understanding before purchasing. The Super and the Collapsible are the two most commonly stocked — both made in Canada, both trusted by students and professionals, but designed around different priorities. The Collapsible (SKU 51706 for 4/4, 51707 for 1/2 and 3/4) has feet that fold flat for compact storage in a violin case pocket — a practical feature for players who remove the rest between playing sessions and need it to fit neatly in the case. The Super does not have folding feet — its feet are fixed in position, and the end member mechanism that controls the feet's grip on the violin is simplified compared to the Collapsible's design. This simplification serves two purposes: it reduces the weight of the rest, and it reduces the number of mechanical components that could develop wear or play over time. The Super is lighter and has a more streamlined profile on the instrument. Players who leave the rest on the violin most of the time, or who store it separately and don't need it to fold flat, will find the Super's lighter weight and cleaner shape preferable. Players who frequently remove and store the rest in the case — particularly students who are putting it on and off at every lesson and practice session — will find the Collapsible's folding feet more convenient. Both models are adjustable for height and width to fit different physiques, and both are made in Canada to Kun's consistent manufacturing standard. For full explanation of why shoulder rests matter and how to fit one correctly, see the Kun Collapsible 51706 product page. We stock all three Kun models at Angkor Music alongside violin strings, rosin and accessories.

Simplified End Member Mechanism

The end member is the adjustable section at each end of the shoulder rest that grips the lower bout of the violin. On the Super, this mechanism is simplified compared to more complex alternatives — fewer moving parts, a cleaner construction and a stronger connection as a result. The simplification does not reduce adjustability — the Super's feet are still adjustable for width to fit the violin's lower bout — but the mechanism that achieves this fit uses a more direct design approach. For players who have had experience of rest mechanisms developing looseness or play over time, the Super's simplified construction addresses this with a more robust baseline.

Lightweight and Streamlined

The Super's reduced weight is a practical advantage during performance — less mass on the instrument means less interference with the violin's natural resonance and vibration, and less overall weight on the shoulder and chin. The streamlined shape sits lower and closer to the violin's lower bout than bulkier designs, which some players find produces a more natural playing position.

4/4 Sizing — Full Size Violin Only

This model fits full-size 4/4 violins. For 1/2 and 3/4 size violins, the Kun Collapsible 51707 is the correct model. For full explanation of violin sizing and which size suits younger players, see the 51707 product page.

Who Is the Kun Super For?

  • Players who want the lightest possible shoulder rest without sacrificing quality or adjustability
  • Intermediate and advanced players who leave the rest on the violin or store it separately and don't need collapsible feet
  • Players who prefer a streamlined, minimal aesthetic on the instrument
  • Players who want simplified mechanical construction for long-term reliability
  • Players who remove and store the rest in a case between sessions should consider the Kun Collapsible 51706 instead
  • This model is for 4/4 full-size violin only — for fractional sizes see Kun 51707

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Kun Super and the Kun Collapsible?
The main practical difference is the feet. The Collapsible has feet that fold flat for compact storage in a violin case pocket. The Super has fixed feet that do not fold. The Super is also lighter and has a more streamlined profile. Players who remove the rest and store it in the case between sessions should choose the Collapsible. Players who leave the rest on the violin or store it separately will find the Super's lighter weight and simplified mechanism preferable.

Does the Super have any locking mechanism to prevent rotation on the violin?
The Super's simplified end member mechanism holds the rest securely on the violin's lower bout through direct grip rather than a dedicated locking device. It is designed to stay in position during playing. If you specifically need a locking rotation-prevention mechanism, the Kun Collapsible 51706 includes Kun's patented locking device for this purpose.

Is this suitable for a beginner?
Yes — the Kun Super is appropriate for players at any level. Beginners who want the simplest, lightest rest that stays on the violin without needing to fold it away will find the Super straightforward and reliable. Beginners who want the convenience of folding feet for case storage should choose the Collapsible 51706.

Will this fit my 4/4 violin?
The Kun Super 51704 fits full-size 4/4 violins. For 1/2 or 3/4 violins, the Kun Collapsible 51707 is the correct size. If you are unsure of your violin's size, check the label inside the instrument through the f-hole or ask your teacher.
