You mean, 'Zappa Peach'?

Why, Yes!

Less musical, but Sailor's Apricot would have done the trick as a substitute.

Dark moody colors are my thing.. :wub: :wub: .. with the exception of the ghastly Beethoven Green and the Tchaikovsky Blue (this blue is nice, sheen is pretty..... but I am not so crazy about blues, unless they are dark)... I do enjoy the rest of the series....

 

My favorite is Wagner.. (duh!!!)... the rest I will take in any order... Beethoven is last. :P

I'm wowed by Tchaikovsky, I really like Vivaldi and I like Schubert. I like and use the others less, but I don't find any of them 'dreary'.

I just received Handel today (Thank you Dav!) and I am so very pleased with it! It is subtle, muted, soft, gentle, lovely, and complex. I truly enjoy this ink. The mood is evocative of something sweet, serene and perhaps a bit sorrowful, but that is life sometimes, isn't it? I do think that Handel is very pretty and will be enjoying it for quite awhile. I especially love the way it looks on Tomoe River; it reveals a greater depth to the story of the ink (yes, inks and colors tell stories in my world! lol)

+1!

I've been dipping into the Schubert with an EF nib lately and I must say it is a stunningly beautiful ink. It's brought it home to me just how important a nib can be in terms of how you perceive a colour. I find it very unusual and the shading is really, really great. I've no other ink like it. When I got the music set I found the Wagner to be the best, but over time I'm leaning towards the Schubert as a favourite.

 

In terms of behaviour, I've had some troubles with Strauss. I love the colour, but it has dried out on the nib very quickly and even dried out in the pen. No clogging that can't be corrected with a lick or a dip in water though.

 

I really don't like the Beethoven

Are there any other inks that come in gift sets like these? Thinking about buying one just for the looks of it all if anyone knows of any similar please post.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
