I bet they didn't even think of Frank Zappa.

You mean, 'Zappa Peach'?

Why, Yes!

 

Less musical, but Sailor's Apricot would have done the trick as a substitute.

Dark moody colors are my thing.. :wub: .. with the exception of the ghastly Beethoven Green and the Tchaikovsky Blue (this blue is nice, sheen is pretty..... but I am not so crazy about blues, unless they are dark)... I do enjoy the rest of the series....

 

My favorite is Wagner.. (duh!!!)... the rest I will take in any order... Beethoven is last.

I'm wowed by Tchaikovsky, I really like Vivaldi and I like Schubert. I like and use the others less, but I don't find any of them 'dreary'.

I just received Handel today (Thank you Dav!) and I am so very pleased with it! It is subtle, muted, soft, gentle, lovely, and complex. I truly enjoy this ink. The mood is evocative of something sweet, serene and perhaps a bit sorrowful, but that is life sometimes, isn't it? I do think that Handel is very pretty and will be enjoying it for quite awhile. I especially love the way it looks on Tomoe River; it reveals a greater depth to the story of the ink (yes, inks and colors tell stories in my world! lol)

+1!

I've been dipping into the Schubert with an EF nib lately and I must say it is a stunningly beautiful ink. It's brought it home to me just how important a nib can be in terms of how you perceive a colour. I find it very unusual and the shading is really, really great. I've no other ink like it. When I got the music set I found the Wagner to be the best, but over time I'm leaning towards the Schubert as a favourite.

 

In terms of behaviour, I've had some troubles with Strauss. I love the colour, but it has dried out on the nib very quickly and even dried out in the pen. No clogging that can't be corrected with a lick or a dip in water though.

 

I really don't like the Beethoven

Maybe I'm boring too, but I rather like these inks. Wiould love to try them myself.
