It’s a dreary day today in our London office, but we’re warmed by the sight of our wonderful range of shoulder rests. Even the classic black ones! 🥰

As the end of the year approaches we’re very grateful to all the Kun lovers out there who’ve supported and encouraged us and sent us their incredibly kind words about our products.

We’ve made lots of new friends in the string world and are looking forward to lots of exciting projects in 2022.

We’re also thrilled to be sending out our gorgeous shoulder rest displays to customers around the world very soon. Watch out for one in a music store near you!

✨New Featured Artist✨

We are delighted to announce that the amazing @aizuriquartet is our newest Kun Featured Artist!

…

Praised by The Washington Post for “captivating” performances that draw from its notable “meld of intellect, technique and emotions,” the Aizuri Quartet was awarded the Grand Prize and the CAG Management Prize at the 2018 M-Prize Chamber Arts Competition, along with top prizes at the 2017 Osaka International Chamber Music Competition in Japan, and the 2015 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition in London. The Quartet’s debut album, Blueprinting, featuring new works written for the Aizuri Quartet by five American composers, was released by New Amsterdam Records and nominated for a 2019 GRAMMY Award. 🏆

The Quartet has performed extensively throughout North America, as well as in Europe, Japan, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, and Abu Dhabi, and has commissioned and premiered new works by Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw, Lembit Beecher, Paul Wiancko and many more.

The quartet draws its name from “aizuri-e,” a style of predominantly blue Japanese woodblock printing that is noted for its vibrancy and incredible detail. 🌊

The violinists of the group @emmafrucht and @mihosaegusa use our Sculpted Waves rest and standard Bravo 😍

Aizuri are the second string quartet to become Kun Featured Artists after the wonderful @miroquartet . We are delighted to welcome them to the Kun family! 🥰
