I have been testing the titanium bridge protectors on my bridges I have carved recently. I have used parchment and when weighing the two, my digital scale is not able to show a difference.I carve my bridges to 1.35mm (1.2mm for professional players) and the protectors are ~2mm. I have tested with a variety of strings. Goldbrokat Gold (bronzed steel) are my favorites, but a number of Pirastro strings were tested as well. Be sure to put pencil graphite each time strings are changed. I skipped that step once with an aluminum wound E and it stretched the winding. Properly graphite lubricated, I didn’t have any trouble with a replacement aluminum wound E. If you prefer wound E, something to watch for.I carefully notch the bridge so the protector fits snug to the bridge tight and use a dab of hot animal glue to ensure it stays in place. Tone is beautiful and I have no problem with whistles on the E string. Attention to mounting on the bridge is very important. Poor result is likely not properly fitted protector. If it is loose, expect whistles and reduced projection/performance.As one goes up in string tension as strings continue to evolve, this is a great alternative to parchment and likely to last for a very long time.

This product is much better than the small tube that typically comes on violin strings. Appears to be good quality, and installation is relatively simple. Definitely worth the money.
