Mozart Extra Fine Nib?

[gbecker]

Does anyone know how to obtain an extra fine nib for the Mont Blanc Mozart fountain pen? I have the fine point and am thinking of having it customized by Nibs.com. Thank you.

You can ask Montblanc to change the nib to EF, it will be free of charge if the pen has been bought by less than six weeks. Anyway if you are searching for a true extra fine nib, you could be disappointed, since in my experience also EF Montblanc nib run quite large. In this case the only choice you have could be to have the pen regrinded by an expert.

Thanks. I had checked with Mont Blanc and they said the extra fine was not available for this pen in the U.S.

Then the only option is re-grinding. Nibs.com may take 6 months or so, Richard Binder may take 4 months or so.

I concur that you oughtn't bother getting the nib exchanged: MB's idea of Extra Fine is more like a medium-broad. I've sent mine to Richard Binder at this point, can't wait to get them back!

Thank you all for the information. One further thing: Does anyone prefer Richard Binder or Nibs.com?
