Kun Shoulder rests and the rubber feet.

February 21, 2015 at 12:53 PM · Be careful to choose a material that will not interact with the varnish on your violin. For example I would not use plasticized PVC. Not sure about natural latex, but probably that has been used for years. What does the manufacturer use?

Wolf Shoulder Rest Rubber Legs Replacement Kit

If not, why not buy directly from the maker?

Kun: classic fork members

(it is latex, after all)

Greetings from Canada, the home of Kun!
