New to learning Copperplate, I just got the most basic Tom's Studio oblique pen holder (the plain brass one) which is supposedly a present from my husband so I can't open it til my birthday. In the meantime, I realised I need a straight holder as well so I got the matching straight holder to play with... Can find the Testimonials on Tom's Studio website but not many reviews of his pens. Just wondering if anyone here has used them and if so, what do you think? http://www.tomsstudio.co.uk/shop/brassholders
