These unique pieces are created using a specialised printing process, handcrafted in Italy and assembled by our team in Ottawa, Canada. The lovely new designs are wrapped around Kun’s premium Bravo base, made from layered hardwood laminates and fitted with resonant brass parts.

• Standard ( non-collapsible). 
• Available for full size violin, while supplies last. 
• Limited to 750 pieces of each pattern. 

Kun Seven incorporates a range of customisation features that help each player achieve their ideal set up, exceptional comfort and superb sound. With its development guided by violinists at every step, Kun Seven is made from robust materials that guarantee strength and acoustic excellence.

• The pad bends to suit each violinist’s body and playing position, while a silicone pattern provides secure shoulder grip;
• Exchangeable pad adapters offer three height options, with fine tuning through the forks;
• A “coupler joint” between the pad and bridge pivots to adjust the pad angle, and travels along the bridge for optimal positioning;
• A ratchet achieves fine, secure width adjustment;
• Offset feet with internal ribs provide exceptional grip, while minimal contact with the violin ensures maximum resonance.

With lustrous brass parts that nod to the past and leading-edge design that looks to the future, Kun Seven is sure to satisfy the performance demands of serious players.
