Tubing provided in packs of 2.
For one complete foot: order x1 unit, for the whole shoulder rest: order x2 units.
Fit using a minute amount of liquid soap on foot. Too much and the tube will slide off.
Beginner
As described - easy to put on.
Pros: Easy to put on; Applied a small amount of diluted washing up liquid on stems and put tubes in warm - hot water for a few seconds to soften them before pushing them onto rest.
Cons: None
Other: Stringzone service was excellent & very quick delivery; unexpectedly arrived in time for first violin lesson.

Pros: This is exactly what you need to buy if the rubber feet on you Kun shoulder rests have perished.
Cons: These are the most difficult things to get on and I began to wish I'd just bought another shoulder rest! To minimise the horror of putting these things on, run them under hot water, with a little washing up liquid to get them to expand and ease on. What a job, even then! My thumbs have recovered now but I hope these things last for YEARS.
Other: Difficult to rate. 5* for quality of product, 1* for ease of fitting, hence 3* overall.

Pros: The fact that you can buy these as spare parts, as there are so many things these days that we have to throw away when bits perish. Not difficult to fit, just a a bit of perserverance required.
Cons: -

Pros: Had to order foot tubes as new Kun shoulder rest continually fell off! Have not fitted them yet, as resorted to spare Wolf rest. Was advised to get foot tubes by fellow player, who had same problem with his new Kun shoulder rest. However, he has had good success with the foot tubes. [tip, he says,"Apply with a bit of spit!"]
Cons: The need to use them at all, as the shoulder rest should have adequate gripping power built in, as formerly, or be supplied with "grips".
Other: String Zone cam up trumps in supplying required item, as always. Am recommending "you" to others.
