Mozart - Diamine Music Set

[visvamitra]

First the music:

Manufacturers since 1864, Diamine Inks relocated to this purpose built 'state of the art' factory in Liverpool in 1925, where they successfully carried on using the traditional methods and formulas for ink production. Over the years the company has changed hands and are now located close to the world famous Aintree Race Course

Diamine offers interesting ink gift sets. The idea is nice but I'm not interested in full lines of inks, rather in colors I enjoy. That's why I'm pleased to say Diamine will offer all of their inks also in 30 ml plastic bottles. A friend of mine send me the samples of Music Set inks. I'll review them here.

1. Bach
2. Beethoven
3. Chopin
4. Handel
5. Mozart
6. Schubert
7. Strauss
8. Tchaikovsky
9. Vivaldi
10. Wagner

Mozart looks nice, not really special in any way but decent all way through.

I loooove the music and I do like this odd color. Shading is quite dramatic.

I am rather underwhelmed by this set - not necessarily by the colours themselves (although some are really bland), but by their names. I imagine Sandy1 would have something to say about that ; ) As it were, I don't find this red very Mozarty. Great shading though. And, as always, nice review.

 

Edit: Unlike the other inks in this set, I would consider buying this one.

An ink named for Mozart should be fiery red, or maybe purple. He was NOT a bland composer - he made so many innovations! The color should reflect this...

[Charles Rice]

Great music - but it makes me laugh when I think of all the gimmicks that the ink makers come up with to get you to buy more ink - not that that's a bad thing. Mozart by Diamine, JFK by Montblanc and so forth.

[visvamitra]

@Charles - Whatever works I guess Although it's mainly marketing I wouldn't mind if Diamine would eventually come with Planets or Chakras set. It would be cool to write with Saturn or Muladhara

[Charles Rice]

How about an ink series dedicated to famous criminals like:

 

Bonnie and Clyde Green

Jack the Ripper Red

John Dillinger Blue

 

And as they were criminals, we could certainly charge a criminal price - say $50.00 for 35ml.

LOL.. Good one...

 

 

Sometime ago... someone open a thread to ask about Diamine New Series... (I believe this was during the Flower and Music series).. I replied stating that the next series is the "Monster Series".. celebrating the Monsters of all times... Dracula, Frankenstein, Jekyll&Hyde... etc... people got sooo excited.

 

I still think is a good idea..

That really is not a bad idea.

@Charles - this names are more than cool and C - monster series would be AWESOME. I do believe Christine from Diamine should read this post and make their graphic designers start working on etiquettes Jekyll & Hyde would have to be gall ink for it's incredible change in color.

 

I would definitely buy Jack the Ripper Red. One may think it's in bad taste but...

[Charles Rice]

Another series - famous disasters:

 

Titanic Deep Sea Blue

 

Chernobyl Pale Green

 

George Bush Brown

Imagine Swamp Thing murky green, Chupacabra brown, Nosferatu red, Mummy Grey and so on. I like this idea a lot.

They should hire you as copywriter.

I was to a small extent. My imagination got me fired. (juicing up automotive parts advertising)

Montblanc actually brought out a Mozart pen, in 1991 - twohundred years after his early death. I bought one. That may actually have been my first halting step on the slippery path of fountain pen obsession interest, although I was already using them and preferred them over all other pens...

But I did not usually spend the amounts of money MB wanted for their small hommage... that was a first. And it took more than 25 years to take the next step.

Well, Hellooo!!!!!

I like these ideas a lot and I know that Phil at Diamine keeps as up to date with FPN as he can. Busy chap. I'll draw his attention to this very soon. I particularly like the Jekyll & Hyde...

Some of you might remember the Meddler's range that I used to use in my signature. I'll note them all down on here sometime but one example that comes to mind was; "Meddler's 'Muddy Waters' - one of the earliest blues."

Strangely, the range never really took off...

...and there just might be more Diamine news in the not-too-distant future...

Wow. If those were released today there would be lawsuits numbering in the thousands.

[visvamitra]

@Good Captain - that's smome good news

[Charles Rice]

Wow. If those were released today there would be lawsuits numbering in the thousands.

We could add Hindenburg Flaming Orange.
