Excellent videos. Definitely not enough nib comparison vids like these around, at least not in English.

 

Thanks a lot. Next time, I'll upload the vid about my stationery in my bag!

When I have finished uploading it, I'll make the announcement on this topic. :)

Thank you for posting the videos. I am not sure how I did not see this thread before. I have been researching Sailor nibs a bit. I am wondering how wide is the music nib. Thank you in advance.

 

Thanks for the comment again!

 

I also have been researching Sailor nibs for a long time.

I would be more than happy to be of service to you.

 

By the way, I'm checking your own blog now.

Really cool reviews.

 

I liked it so much!!

The Kobe ink pictures are reaaaaly making me so jealous... :headsmack:

 

Thanks, nicholasyeo. Kobe Ink is so tempting even for us Japanese. :)

 

Wow! I've never seen this ink before! Is this sold outside Japan?

The pen I write with, is the pen I use to sign my name.

I love to watch "What's in my bag?". Thank you so much for sharing. :cloud9:

 

You're welcome. As I do like to see "What's in my bag" as well, I made this video.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for your watching, symphony! :)

thank you, about how wide of a line is that making?

 

Music nib provides much broader line than Zoon nib. Of course, it's really smooth and wet!

If I would be good at calligraphy, I could show you how to handle Music nibs for calligraphy with this nib... :headsmack:

Thanks for the comment. I'm afraid Nagasawa ink is not sold outside Japan...

Even Japanese people have to visit Nagasawa at Kobe city to purchase this ink.

Great job! Looks so attractive. Tsuge creates a desire to buy!!! :puddle: Thanks for the video.

 

Thanks for the comment.

 

This pen has both overfeed and underfeed.

So, if I could write with this nib, I would feel sooooo wet.

 

The nib looks like flex, however, this brand-new TSUGE may not have flex nib.

Personally speaking, I hope it'll be flexible!

To olivier78860,

 

http://pen.tsugepipe.co.jp/overview/inhaler.html

 

So this strange part is called an inhaler. Sadly I can't speak Japanese, could you translate the text perhaps, VirtuThe3rd ? The pens looks very similar to the Onoto 3000. And also, $1600. Itai!Itai!Itai! (I think it's the ouch word in Japanese :) )

 

I translated the Japanese web page into English.

(The Japanese texts have so many literary usages that I could not do literal translation...)

 

 

We have also desired the filling system should have beautility to the same extent as the barrel.

And to store much ink, we made the filling mechanism a unique form.

 

So, there is master craftsmanship to be seen inside the barrel.

 

Even more surprisingly, there is no rubber seal in this fountain pen.

 

As a matter of course, a rubber seal is absolutely necessary for many kinds of fountain pens,

but we produced this pen without any consumable parts because this pen was built on the con-

cept of "Just simple".

 

 

Sorry for my bad English,

Thanks
