Frankenpen Question -- Nakaya On Aurora? Is It Possible? (Dumb Question)

[TatumAxelandtheMachine]

Okay so I'm new to the forum and newish to fountain pens. So please excuse my stupidity.

 

But I got a Aurora Mar Adriatico, which I love aesthetically but has a writing experience that isn't for me. And I have a Nakaya Naka-ai, which has a writing experience that is perfect for me. So my dumb question is would it be possible for someone trained (not me) to fit the Aurora with a Nakaya nib?

 

Let me know!

 

Thanks

Welcome.

 

It may be possible to change the nib like you ask but first what's wrong with the Aurora nib?

[TatumAxelandtheMachine]

Thanks. Well... the Aurora nib is a M but to me writes more like a fine. There's a lot of feedback and its writes on the dry side. None of this is per say wrong, just counter to my preference. On the other hand John @ Nibs set up my Nakaya and it's like perfect. I find myself making meaningless notes just to have an excuse to write with it. The Aurora is gorgeous and I want to have a similar feeling about the pen. So after waffling I was just wondering if that could be the answer.

 

Best

Why not send the Aurora to John?

[TatumAxelandtheMachine]

Yeah I was going to no matter what. Just didn't know even if he tuned it if the line is too narrow... But yeah, whatever, John is probably gonna get a crack at it.

Tell John you would like the Aurora to behave like the Nakaya. If he has records then he should be able to make them very similar.
