Thanks. Is it different than a Kun? They look similar. Maybe the curve is different.
Thank you.

Depends how far in you can screw the Kun's feet.

I have just done a quick comparison on my violin.
In order of preference: -
1. Artino Ergo
2. Bon Musica, properly set-up
3. Wolf Forte Secondo.
Sorry, I've only just noticed you are asking about a Kun. I don't have one, but did buy some Kun feet to put on the Bon Musica, as recommended on VCom (see violin blog). I don't recommend it - they are not an exact fit, and brute force rarely solves problems. My shop charges a lot for some Kuns, and the photos aren't good. Fiddlershop's photos look a lot better.

Okay, before I made any changes, I decided to give my current setup another try.
Here is Fiddlerman's version of Brahms Lullaby played on my Fiddlershop Solist 15.5 Viola. It doesn't sound too bad, has its issues, but that is playing, not setup related.
I did not feel the stress I had been feeling. I was away for a week, and hadn't played anything, so maybe I needed a rest? I also did not play for long, but for the time I did play, I am not feeling sore.
