First of all: hello. Newb here. Please be gentle with me. (but not too gentle ;) )

 

So I got hypnotized by the Stipula Etruria Rainbow Prisma. i clicked "BUY" before I knew what I was in for.

 

Fortunately it's a lovely pen so far and I do like it quite a bit, but what would make me love it is a Stub nib.

 

Does anyone have any experience changing nibs in an Etruria Rainbow?

Anything I should know?

 

I am hesitant to do anything without some idea of what I'm doing.

Any tips or advice?

What is the nib width? You could send it out and have it ground to a stub or cursive italic if it was an M, B, or BB. There are quite a few nibmeisters who will do the job for you. One that I have used is Pendleton Brown.

 

I looked up the pen on Fountain Pen Hospital's site, it indicated only an M titanium nib was available. Who did you purchase the pen from, I would check with the dealer? I have a Stipula Casa Mila with the titanium nib and found it to be an OK nib. I am not sure if a titanium nib can be modified you would have to check.

      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
