Music nib?

[solartom]

Hey There!
I have a lady that wants a fountain pen, but it has to have a special nib that is used for writing sheet music. I guess it's something like a nib that's used for writing calligraphy. Anyone know of such a thing, and where I might find a nib or kit like that (for writing music)?
Thanks,
Tom in Sandpoint, ID

Ernie at Beartoothwoods.com carries Berea kits. You could do an El Grande and order a broad nib that should do calligraphy. I think the nib is about $8 over the cost of the kit. I would imagine other fountain pen makers have similar products.

CSUSA sells calligraphy nibs which fit both the Jr Gent and the Jr. Statesman. Don't tell Nils, but they also fit the Baron. Shhhhhh!!![]

Thanks Lou, I love the Jr Gent, and will likely get a calligraphy nib next time I make an order. I'm still saving my pennies to buy a few Jr Statesman kits.

Well the "music nib" is a special nib, not just a calligraphy nib. The customer might be happy with a generic calligraphy nib but if they know what they are asking for they will not be happy. Sailor makes a music nib but I bet its very expensive and who knows if it would fit something we have a kit for.

Are you sure about those nibs fitting the Baron? I asked a while back but nobody knew....

My info comes from Tony (penworks). Hopefully he'll chime in and validate this!

Yes the threads match up between the Jr.'s and the Barons. In fact when I want to dress up a Jr. Statesman Rollerball even further than it already is, I put a nib from a Baron on it.
