Laminated hardwood base with 6mm foam rubber padding. Brass metal parts. The Kun Bravo is unique among wooden shoulder rests. The Bravo's bent hardwood laminates alternating in grain structure provide maximum strength with some flexibility. As a result, this rest maintains Kun's instantly- recognizable ergonomic shape, easy attachment to the instrument, and stability in use. Handcrafted in Italy from European flamed maple, the Bravo has exceptional aesthetic appeal, while its polished brass ends are fully- adjustable and incorporate Kun's patented locking device.

Pros: The Kun Bravo is beautifully made and extremely comfortable. I bought it as an upgrade from my Super Kun which I have used for many years and which I previously would have said is the most comfortable shoulder rest that I have tried. However, the Bravo definitely has the edge and I am very pleased with it. It feels slightly more sturdy and durable and has more padding.
Cons: None

Well made, high quality comfortable shoulder rest
Pros: Very comfortable once set up and seems to have added resonance to the tone of my viola, particularly on C and G strings.
Cons: Took a lot of adjusting to get the fitting just right, and has occasionally fallen off, but I accept that may be my fault for not putting it on carefully enough.
