Noodler's Чайковский (Tchaikovsky)


MrsDrG

Recommended Posts

I've been lurking here for a long time but joined today as I saw Noodler's Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov did not have ink reviews but are both in my possession. I love looking at ink reviews, even the rubbish ones, so I was inspired to make my own modest contribution.

 

This ink is probably not a good choice for lefties, as it takes a really long time to dry (still smearing at 20 seconds), it's also not a good choice for non-FP papers as it feathers like a beast. BUT - it is oh, so, so very pretty. It shades so incredibly richly - like Apache Sunset where it's one colour at the top of a stroke, a completely different one at the base - and my pen seems to really like it. Also, it is freakishly water resistant. Even after 15 seconds and rubbing, the q-tip sample stayed squarely intact.

 

Full page is a scan, close-ups are iPhone photos in natural light on Rhodia dotpad and Field Notes. You guys, the shading.

Thank you very much for adding this review and welcome to FPN. I've looked at this ink and I like the color but I thought it would be too fussy. What do you think?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Thank you for your welcome! I'm delighted to be here.

 

Now that I've run through my entire CON-40 of it, I should probably go back and add to the review. I find it to be a very sticky ink. I'm not sure that's the right descriptor but it makes for VERY hard starts in my Elite. I have to scribble to get it flowing.

 

Once it gets going, it's like it was made to be in that particular pen but it was a trick to get it there. I'm going to try it in some other pens. I have a Cross Townsend which practically hemorrhages ink so maybe it will be better there.

 

You're exactly right - the colour is fantastic, unlike anything else I've seen, but it is super fussy. I think it's going to be a great ink for special letters and other types of correspondence but definitely not for a note taking or everyday carry pen.

The Noodlers Russian Series (I have a few of them) are all bulletproof and with that comes the extra fussiness. They are "thick" inks. You need a wet pen and I would add a drop of Photo Flo just to keep it flowing.

 

 

Great review,

Thick is a great descriptor. They look especially viscous in the bottle, too. I have this and Rachmaninov (I'm going to get Dostoevsky as well for science ;-)

I use to have the whole series... I gave most of them to a dip pen artist friend of mine. Because they are "thick" they work wonderfully with dip pens.

 

 

 

Years later I ended up getting Dostoyesky and Chekov.. my artist daughter loves to use them for sketches.. (dip pen too)

I'm sorry about time, I'm new to FPN so I'm still learning to go back and check posts for replies.

 

I'd love to send you some. DM me your address and I'll fill up a sample thingy. I have been reading your TWSBI loaner page and got so inspired I bought two 580ALs!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
