Music Nib

[PenWorks]

Just playing around with a few new toys I made myself. []
A Snakewood & Cocobolo dip pens, that I put a set of music nibs on.
I can not read or write music, but it sure is fun pretending to be Mozart Drawing the staff straight, sure takes a little practice.
Oh, if my clients don't want to draw their own staff, I sell the Clairefontaine paper with predrawn staff lines.

Thanks for peeking
Dribbles, drools & spit always appreciated

Interesting looking pen!

Anthony did you make the nibs or buy them? They look great and I know Robert's wife (music teacher) would love a set.

Tom, I did not make the nibs, I sell them at the store. 4.00 a aet or 2 sets for 7.00

 

[BRobbins629]

Love them - pm sent if you can sell me some nibs.

 

[dfurlano]

I like the pens but the single point looks like its like a dirty gesture.

Dan.

No offense Anthony, but if the music staff drawing pens don't do well, perhaps a back scratcher device is better poised for greater sales[)] I like your new pen styles even though I can't distinguish one music note from another.

They are certainly unique I'll say that. [^]

 

[PenWorks]

Yes Peter the music notes were a little week, but you got the general idea.
I would not sell them as back scratchers, as they are pretty sharp and would easily draw blood if not handled properly []

Dan, that is a hand, but it is the index finger, I know most of our minds are in the gutter, but it is what it is []

Thanks for the comments.

Very cool Anthony. I wonder how many people use such a thing. It might go something like this: Hmm, yes dear, I was just thinking of changing the ending of my opera, not where's that darn pen of mine?

 

[penhead]

WoW..Beethoven, Brahms, Penchetta.. [8D]

Very kool Anthony..!

 

[btboone]

That's just the pen needed for getting trouble and having to write "I will not talk in class" 500 times. []

 

[PenWorks]

I tried to write " I will not smoke in school" 500 times []
Kinda hard to write words, but it does make nice shapes as well.

I guess I still have a lot to learn about pen parts (nibs, etc.) not to mention penmaking. Thanks for the lessons!

Perhaps you could sell then as frog spears for really tiny frogs? [!]

 

[PenWorks]

Of course, I should have thought of that. [)]
Since we have so many frogs in the swamp lands of Arizona []

Very nice set of pens Anthony like the set of nib, love the snake wood though, any crack yet? very original. Dan if you look closely you will see that is a hand holding a pointy objet and not sticking finger out []

That is very cool.....My daughter playes violin, she's 10 amd has been playing since she was 4 (Suzuki).......I see some potential here...[]

Anthony,
Do the nibs fit into a slimline tube? or is it a different fitting altogether?
The pointing finger looks like a torah pointer( not sure of the name).

 

[PenWorks]

Glenn, there is a nib insert that slides into the 7mm tube. That is what hold them in.
They are available from Stiles & Bates in the UK, here is the link.

But, in a pinch, a wooden dowel or a pencil eraser will also fit into a 7mm tube and hold them.
