Reliable Kun shoulder rest -
Pros: Professional shoulder rest which provides reliable support. I bought this to replace my old Kun shoulder rest which was rather tired after about 10 years. No doubt will do the same in another 10 years.
Cons: Nothing
Other: Excellent service from Stringzone.

Excellent Product.
Pros: This Shoulder rest is more secure and has more flexibility in the heights and widths that can be set than other rests I have used before. I am pleased with the quality.
Cons: When you need to set the rest so that it provides more height, you can't fold this over so that it easily fits into your violin case. I can only just about shut the lid of my biggest compartment on this rest.
Other: Overall, very pleased so far with the quality of this rest and it has made a difference to how secure I feel with the violin.

I would certainly recommend it to other players.
Pros: Looks good, appears well-built and seems strong (of course only time will tell). There is sufficiency stretch to make it fit the violin snugly without elastic bands. The pad backing grips reasonably well to clothing.
Cons: It does take a while to establish the best position and height for a secure feeling.

A very good product
Pros: It provides a good fit with the shoulder. The height and position of the violin can be easily adjusted. The feet fit the violin well and don't damage the violin. The shoulder rest if fitted correctly won't fall off the violin at inopportune moments. The rubber on the feet is replaceable.
Cons: The plastic frame bends, so doesn't provide as good support as the firmer wooden frame of the Bravo model. This isn't too much of a problem, unless somebody is using a very high or wide setting where it may contact with the back of the violin.

Excellent
Pros: I have had two of these before and find them excellent as they go up nice and high. Needed a new one as the rubber was starting to perish and was worried my violin would be scratched. This new one looks as if the rubber on the feet will be better
Cons: None
