This one's a keeper, IMHO.

 

 

Couldn't quite get the sheen

It's awesome!

One of the better Diamines.

Do you have Diamine Midnight? and could you compare the two?

[Gloucesterman]

Actually, I kind of like it. Might even look for a bottle at the Commonwealth pen Show in Boston - September 20th.

 

Hope someone brings some for sale - HINT, Hint, hint! ;)

I don't currently have any pens inked up with Midnight, but here's a swatch comparison:

I like it

 

But I am not sure its a spectacular colour..

No, it doesn't jump off the page. But I really like its subtlety.

Thank you for the swatchs. Currently my favorite blue-blacks are Midnight and Salix. This looks like it may fall in between those. I like, but I'm not sure I'm ready to spend the $99 to get the whole Music set; hopefully I will be able to find it at the SF Pen Show.

Oh, I guess I didn't make it clear enough in the review, but you can order individual 30ml bottles of all of the flower and composer inks directly from Diamine's website.

Ohh I like this! Thanks for the review.

No, you did make it clear, sorry! I just lost that part somewhere in the empty recesses of my mind by the time I posted.

I love this ink but just don't use it enough!

gylyf's reviews make everything look so good.

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for the great reviews. I am a huge fan of the old Black Box Omas Blue, and I also like Diamine Blue Velvet, but now thanks to you I am on the hunt for a bottle of the new White Box Omas Blue as your swatch and writing sample made that looks so darned good. Sadly, it turns out the one Omas dealer in town has told me he isn't going bother with Omas inks any longer having been burned several times with mislabeled shipments.

 

I like your angled shots and the swatches. They really give you a sense of the ink and your colors always seem correct and the pictures are so clear.

 

Kobe #14 looks like good stuff, the Faber-Castell looks pretty dusty.

That's a very nice dark blue. Thanks for the review.

Unfortunately, it seems the sample I received, unbeknownst to me, was of the old, darker, OMAS Blue, while the bottle I ordered based on that sample contains the newer, lighter blue. It's still a nice ink, but not nearly as nice as the darker blue I thought I was going to receive...

Yet another nice dark blue. There must be a fair number of people like me who love these colors, because the ink makers keep coming out with more of them.
