Music Nibs
Our Music nibs are durable and flexible sketching nibs that respond to light hand pressure and give a nice range of line variation. You can move them quickly in any direction and not worry that the tip will snag on the paper. These nibs are durable so difficult to "spring" or bend too far. Polish the tip to keep them smooth. You can also reshape the tip for different effects, such as stub, chisel, steno and "handed nibs" for right and left handed drawers. These are work horse drawing nibs for people who like to draw quickly.
Our Music nibs are not traditional nibs in the sense that they have two ink channels instead of one and three tynes instead of two. This lets you draw wider lines than with standard nibs. The name "Music nib" indicates their original intended use - they were designed for musicians who wanted to write western musical notation where the horizontal lines are usually thin and the vertical lines are thicker. Music nibs are perfect for this type of drawing.
You can compare these nibs to our Sketch nibs, which are similar in size, shape and material, but provide a traditional drawing nib profile with one ink channel instead of two and two tynes instead of three.
Our Music nibs fit our Large Nib feeds. They are similar in size and shape to Manga G nibs.

Everyone uses pens, we all have our favorites, and our favorites change over time. What we need is the infinitely configurable pen, but that defies the world we live in. There are physical contraints, and no more so than a tool we hold in our hands. It can't be too small or too big, too thick or too thin, and the feel must be appealing - our hands are very sensitive. The tool's performance must be excellent or we will move on until we find what we're looking for. Few things are more frustrating than a pen that doesn't work as expected.
We build pens for artists because everyone is an artist when they handle a pen, when they draw, write, even scribble. You are making your mark! A good pen should enable you to draw or write the way you want to. The pen should fit in your hand and feel comfortable. Most of all it should let you use nibs you enjoy and the inks and paints you want to use.
The perfect pen should be strong and durable yet easy to clean through frequent use with little maintenance, and survive the bumps and falls of everyday use. This is what we try to achieve using a combination of new technology and proven designs. We use CAD applications that let us produce novel designs using new machines that let us recreate features from the "golden age of fountain pens". We use modern materials that serve our purpose, feel good in your hand, remain good looking over time and through use, and prevent ink and paint buildup that can plug your pen.
There is no one pen that will provide everything you want, but we keep trying!
