Does anyone know if there is a way short of doing all the manufacturing yourself to get a Platinum Music nib into a Japanese style eyedropper? I'm wondering if someone makes a pen that would fit it or the like?

I have a 1950s stainless steel Platinum MUSIC nib fitted to a vintage 1920s American Waterman clone. Took awhile until I find a section of the right size for the nib. Writes great.

Some Ban-ei ED pens commissioned by Dani trio used Platinum nibs.

Perhaps if you got hold of the correct Ban-ei, an old style Platinum music nib might be a straight swap. You can even ask Bruno Taut if the old 3776 nibs and Ban ei nibs are the same size. 

 

Good luck!

another option is Opus 88. I believe they use JoWo nib units (Pls confirm this).

Flexible nib factory in the USA makes JoWo housings to accept Platinum nibs and feeds. So you buy the Opus 88 plus the correct FNF housing and you are in the game.

      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
