It's All About the Bass

[SteveJ]

My daughter is finishing up her college career at Colorado University at Boulder where she received a full tuition and fees scholarship to play the upright bass. After her sophomore year it was time to replace her bass. They offered to put a cutout in the ebony finger board. (See first picture) Since they were just going to throw away the cutoff, I asked if I could have it. It wasn't very thick, but thick enough to make this click pen, which she requested.

C&C welcome.

Hi Steve.

I got an Undergrad Degree in Music Ed in 1981 (Brass Instruments). Your pen will be very cherished in 20-30 years! If you have any stock left - keep it! However you use it in the future will also be cherished!

Beautiful pen also.

Nice looking pen! I love hearing stories of where the pens come from. I know that pen will mean a lot to her!

Good job Dad.

Thanks for the comments. The kit is a Click Ballpoint from Woodcraft. It is a little larger than a slimline and uses a Parker refill. It is about the perfect size for her small hands. Of all the pens I've given her this is the one she uses the most. I originally my girl loves it!

Thank you for telling me about that pen kit. . I have been wanting a kit like that and seem to have overlooked this one. . Happy to have found it now. I realize now that that kit has been around for quite a few years but it never came to my notice before.
