Diamine Vivaldi (Music Collection)


Cursive Child

Recommended Posts

Very nice ink, that has been reviewed before. Colorful, yet subdued enough to be used at work.

 

I made a mistake in not having enough ink in it to start the review, so the review is a bit two colored.

The first part, seems a bit dryish, when the ink was nearly over. When I filled it, it was very wet, and you can see the sudden change to a dark color. Towards the end of the page it evens out to a more realistic shade. I'm using a 0.6 mm JoWo stub, that is not overly wet, I think. Thanks to all the other reviewers before me to make me aware of this ink, so I got a sample. Will likely buy it on my next ink shipment from Diamine!

I like it. A legible grey with a touch of purple, very close to Diamine Earl Grey on my monitor. Thanks for the review.

Thanks! I'd say it's a purple with a touch of grey. I haven't tried Earl Grey, though.

Thank you for taking the time to do this review! I do like the color.

There are some really nice inks in Diamine's Musician set, and Vivaldi is certainly one of them; right between purple and grey, neither crazy nor boring.

It must be great for drawing, too

Ack, to me this color is dreadfully melancholy-inducing, shudder. But it is somewhat similar to Iroshizuku Fuyu-Syogun which is my favorite Gray.

 

Thank you for the review!

      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
