Ink Review: Diamine Music Collection: Bach

[Chrissy]

I have decided to review some of my favourite inks. These aren't necessarily in any particular order. I have a sample of Diamine Bach so here is my review of it. I think it's a nicely saturated ink in a shade of dark chestnut brown. It's a good one to have.

• Bearing in mind the paper I use is very smooth, and the nib was a wet stub, it took 16-18 secs to dry.
• It flows very well and lubricates the nib very well. No start-up problems noticed.
• Water test on the review form shows this isn't a waterproof ink.
• It is currently available in the gift set in 30ml glass bottles that are stable and user friendly.
• It's also now available in 30ml plastic bottles as refills.
• Diamine sell it directly to end-users on their web-site.
• It's a reasonable price.

An attractive ink, thanks; I would like to have seen this one compared with Montblanc Lavender purple.

Hi Cob, It's nothing like Mb Lavender Purple, so that's why I didn't do a comparison with that. Bach is a brown ink.

Did you maybe put your question on the wrong review by any chance? Handel or Amazing Amethyst might be closer to Mb Lavender Purple. I could do a comparison with one of those inks
