Heh.

 

I should make you wait longer.

 

I have the 1911M with a Music nib, and it's lovely.

It feels like a very big cursive italic.

 

It's not a daily writer for me - I have small handwriting, and the big nib lays far too much ink for the thin pages of my moleskine to handle - but if I used heavier paper, or larger letters, it would be.

 

It feels good in my hand, and writes very well.

Can you get good line variation out of it???

Okay: I just put through my order at Swishers: a Sailor 1911 Medium Demonstrator Music Nib Pen, my first ever set of noodlers ink: Black, Nightshade and finally ZHIVAGO. Also I found on a calligraphy site this amazing nib: a 5 tined nib which is spaced perfectly for music staves!!!!!! See attached for the nib: http://www.quietfiredesign.com/byhandproducts/Calligraphy/musicnib.jpg

 

I cannot wait for this to come in I am so exited!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all of the input!

I want to get one of these Sailors too, so please post a review!!

[woodwindmaster06]

Will do!: I will also be able to put up some scans too, my scanner is back up and running and I will do a full out demonstration of this wonderful nib! Probably using my new Noodler's Black ink.

Until then. I am almost equally excited about everything: the new ink, the new dip music stave nib, and of course my first sailor/first every specialy nib which will be put to good use as I apply to colleges majoring in music composition!!

Congrats on the new order. I'm especially interested in the Staff Nib you purchased. Would you please post the site that carries this nib. I'd be interested in buying one.

I would be interested if the Sailor music nib is in fact useful for notating music. The big factors from what I understand are the variation in thickness with pressure & direction and sufficient ink flow.

 

My graduate independent study involves, among other things, learning to notate music in a more beautiful, precise manner than my normal chickenscratch short-hand. Predictably, I'm not having much luck finding the particular osmiroid or pelikan nibs my professor uses for this purpose.

I will of course post a lengthy review on the nib and show its manuscript purposes as well. Hopefully I should get them on wendsday.
