What does the music nib do?
Its five tips are designed to draw five parallel lines in one stroke, for a music staff or an ornamental pattern. It does not write musical notes automatically. Keep the tips evenly in contact with the paper and try a steady pulling stroke on a test sheet first. Use the other nib for writing.
Start with a test line
This is a dip pen: dip the nib again when its ink runs out. The holder has no ink reservoir or cartridge. Dip only the nib, let excess ink drip off and write with light pressure. Test smooth paper for feathering or bleed-through before starting a card or letter.
Cleaning and supplies
Rinse the nib with water after use and dry it carefully. Do not let ink dry on the nib or soak the wooden holder. Keep the bottle closed and follow its label instructions. Find materials for calligraphy and drawing or compare other creative gift sets.
