Montegrappa Miya Blue M

[jgysenbergs]

This is the second fact sheet in a series, CONID's Fountainbel Bulk Filler was the first. The Montegrappa Miya has a striking barrel and is very pleasant to write with.

 

Thanks for reading. Next fact sheet in a couple of days. - JG

The Miya is a very nice pen, one of the extended series that began with the Classica. and the Midnight Blue celluloid is beautiful.

Sweet pen but why the 8 rating for the nib?

[jgysenbergs]

Yes, the nib acted up a bit and after a lot of reading and gleaning, I felt a knack for the Nibmeisterei. Got it right in the end - well, 8,5 should be more appropriate. Main reason was the scary flex though. Very welcome! - JG

I have a Midnight Blue Miya Argento and agree that is is a most comfortable pen to write with. Some are afraid of the rounded barrel, but I find it extremely comfortable. Of course the celluloid is incredible, beautiful to look at and warm to the touch. My nib required the work of a nibmeister, which is not uncommon with these pens, but now that Mike Masuyama has adjusted it, the writing experience is second to none. My Miya does not have a flex nib, however, but what I would call a springy nib. It has some bounce, but will not produce a flexible line.

Stunning!!

thank you for updating the link

this one I like particularly

I have the turquoise Miya, but this deep blue celluloid is not easy to describe (I have seen it live and photos cannot show its real beauty)

Thanks for the review. Awesome pen

Hi,

I've got one Miya in red celluloid (stunning but a bit flashier than the deep blue) and I agree with (nearly) all you said about yours. The nib of my red Miya does not flex, although it writes wonderfully. 

Thanks for your review.
