Are Platinum nibs dry ?

[Patrick L]

Hello ,

                 I own a Platinum 3776 music nib fountain pen. It's the only Platinum fountain pen that I possess.  I never liked the nib of this pen . I found it to be  really dry even with wet inks like Aurora black . I would like to buy a Nakaya Fountain pen but from I understand the Nakaya pens come with a Platinum nib. The seller informs me that pen will only be available after several months as Nakayas are hand made fountain pens . Do you think that I should ask the seller to work on the nib so as to make it wet ?

                 Please share your thoughts.

                 Thank you.

You can have your Platinum 3776 tuned properly for your writing. Send it to someone who can work with nibs. Nakayas use the same nibs and feeds and they are capable of decent flow. Flow adjustments in the music nib should be something any competent nib person will be able to do without issue.

 

For Nakaya, I recommend to buy directly from Nakaya. Skip the middle man. They will tune the nib to your preferred wetness and writing as part of their process when they work with you to make your pen. They will also record your writing preferences so that they can make sure it writes the way you want and future pens you get from them are tuned that way. This way you will not need to worry about this issue at all. They speak English well enough and can help you much better.
