Chinese Pen For A Franklin Christoph Music Nib?

[frr149]

Hi,

 

What chinese pen will fit a Franklin Christoph Music nib? Would a Jinhao 159 fit it?

 

Thanks!

The nib unit should not be able to be fitted into an incompatible pen, but even if the nib only can be fitted, the feed might not be able to keep up with the nib's demands: the three-tine nib would need a feed with two channels.

I agree with Seele. The feeds in Chinese pens are different and in the case that you can pull the nib off the feed you may possibly run into feed issues. Any other 2 tine nib #6 nib should be fine though

Might be able to carve up a Noodler's feed and fit it into one of the #6 compatible noodler's pens. Since the feeds are by default designed for normal flow, but can be adjusted/modified for full-flex flow which may accommodate a music nib.

 

So yea I don't think a Jinhao X450/X750/159 would be the most suitable pen for it, but a Noodler's may do the trick since the ebonite feed can be modified easier.

KBeezie probably has the best idea. Unless you can be patient and wait for the neponset. I think the feed that comes will that will have two channels...at least I'd expect it to.

 

If you don't mind me asking...why not just fit the nib unit into a Franklin-Christoph pen? Actually, it's a Jowo unit, so according to what I understood from the very helpful FC folks at the DC show, it ought to fit in most pens that use Jowo nib units...so, Edison? Maybe TWSBI? I haven't tried it myself.
