Great build quality, but the tip dulls easily
The build quality of the endpin itself is fantastic, it enhances the sound of my cello better than the carbon endpin from Bois d'Harmonie (B&H), which I've been using for years. My cello now has edgier articulations and more grounded bass, without feeling heavy on the bow. The only thing I miss from the previous endpin is the tip. The tip from B&H carbon endpin is made of tungsten carbide and practically never dulls. This tip from Otto Musica dulls rather easily and does not have the silver-grey colour of titanium. Therefore I assume it's made of stainless steel. Although this tip is replaceable, a dulled tip is the nightmare of all cellists. It's really a shame that the only let down of such a great product is the tip.

Pros - incredibly stiff, it doesn't wobble like carbon fiber endpin, With gut strings it adds more overtones compared to carbon, the sound is more edgy, projects more.
The tip is very sharp.
Cons - it's quite heavy compared to carbon
With steel strings the sound is too metalic
