Comments on: Wolf or Kun? http://www.sdmaus.com/violinblog/wolf-or-kun.html Learning and Practicing the Violin Sun, 25 Dec 2011 19:14:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Steve Maus http://www.sdmaus.com/violinblog/wolf-or-kun.html/comment-page-1#comment-3077 Steve Maus Sun, 06 Feb 2011 10:04:06 +0000 http://www.sdmaus.com/violinblog/?p=406#comment-3077 Thanks for your comment. But I never wrote a particular shoulder rest would be <b>merely</b> for beginners. The Wolf rest is ideal for beginners. Nevertheless I used one for three decades until I moved to Kun. My advice, as I wrote at the end: try them out. Thanks for your comment. But I never wrote a particular shoulder rest would be merely for beginners. The Wolf rest is ideal for beginners.

I use a wolf primo and have been playing for 20 years. A lot of websites mislabel those circular red sponges as shoulder rests for beginners yet you see a lot of professionals using them. Also if a shoulder rest fits you correctly, you don't notice the weight at all. It really comes down to what fits your body best.
