I used this endpin for about three months, once a week, after replacing a carbon fiber hollow one. There are no scratches. The tip is also sharply pointed. As the name "Brillante" suggests, it has a gorgeous and powerful feel. It doesn't diffuse too much and surprisingly has a core sound. I have replaced it with a different endpin, so I am selling this one (at a discount of more than 70% off the regular price of 38,500 yen including tax). Endpin rubber included. https://www.vcyoyo-mitsuke.jp/
