HI all!

 

I was asked to show what the magical music nib can do.

It came in the mail Saturday evening and I think I've filled an entire notebook of practice pages with it so far.

Here is one such practice page.

 

Since it is a music nib, my practice sessions have all had a musical theme - mostly Rimsky-Korsakoff's Flight of the Bumble Bee. I was bouncing off the wall with excitement and it seemed to bounce along right with me. As far as text to practice on, I have a tendency to grab Danny Kaye song lyrics when I practice and Tschaikowsky and Other Russians seemed to fly along at Bumble Bee speeds. The nib is incredibly brush-like in flexibility and I've been surprised by just how thin as well as how impressively thick it can get from one stroke to the next. If I were only allowed one word to describe it, it would be flexible — not just that the tines spread and snap-back, but that writing, drawing and composing, this nib can do it all. And I'm so proud and honored that I get to use it.

 

Thank you all so, so much!
