Not having a bridge gauge, I use a metric tape measure. I keep the bridge at 693mm on one cello and 694mm. on the other., I check it every few weeks. Since I have had installed the 'geared' cello pegs, the bridge does not move as often since the gear pegs adjust the pitch so little.

If its just graphite, can I use pencil lead?

This is dried out soap - it needs to be cheap, hard soap such as you are given in an inexpensive hotel, and then let it dry out for a few months in a warm place so that it will form 'flakes' when rubbed across the bridge grooves. This is a very good lubricant.

You can definitely use soft pencil lead - 4B or 6B - but we find dried out cheap soap is quicker and cleaner to use.

for the love of god, don’t ever glue anything on top of your cello! just so you know, the bridge is supposed to be flexible in both its position and the angle relative to the instrument, it is supposed to be adjustable

Many thanks for your question. The bridge can and should never be glued to the surface of the cello, as it is designed to be held in place by the strings alone.
