I will be updating this topic as I have several other music nibs for comparison. But I wonder if it should come in a separate post. :unsure:

Where are the vintage music nibs?

I have a DuoCraft and a Good Service both with 14kt Warranted nibs and these are from the 30s or 40s (DuoCraft might be slightly later;) a Pilot Custom from the 50s and one from the 70s; an unmarked German piston-filler with a Bock branded nib - likely from the 50s or 60s; and a Platinum BelAge from the 80s. All of these have music nibs. I suppose it depends on what you consider "vintage" but I think of all of these pens as vintage.

OOOOOO, let's see them. I've only got a Warranted Music nib, probably from the thirties.

~ This “vintage” thread provided the information I've been seeking for several weeks.



From time-to-time FPN's archived threads supply what's difficult to find elsewhere.



Happy!

Tom,

I see you are “broadening” your horizons once again!

Now you need the “music” to go with the “broad” writing-the “broadest” music I can think of comes at about the 1:00 minute mark of this clip of the BPO/Järvi.

      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
