Calligraphy Nibs and pens

[leehljp]

Where can I find caligraphy nibs that will fit Berea fountain pen kits?

Are calligraphy nibs purchased at Michaels and Hobby Lobby compatible with Berea or PSI based pens?

I am out of my league here asking these questions, but I just got asked to do some calligraphy pens afer showing the wedding pens of my daughter.

Thanks in advance for your input.

CSUSA sells a replacement caligraphy nib; but I don't know if it will fit any of the Berea kits. I doubt that the Michael's nibs will fit any of our kits; but you never know.....stranger things have happened!!

Hank,
Have you looked at simply using the caligraphy nib holders in a piece of turned wood? This would allow the user to swap out different nibs at will. Of course, the pen is a dip pen, rather than one with a pump, but...

Hank,
Yes, the CSU calligraphy nib will fit any of the "standard" size FP's from Berea. Not the larger nib styles, (el grande, etc.)
The calligraphy nib I got from them is reasonably smooth, and gives a nice line variation but is very stiff, so if someone is used to traditional dip style calligraphy nibs it will be quite different.

Thanks for the input fellows. I will have to ask what the persons are wanting. I was not aware of the dip style, so I have some learning to do here. You have headed me in the right direction though.

Thanks again.
