I have decided to review some of my favourite inks. These aren't necessarily in any particular order.
This one is from the Diamine Music Gift Set: Mozart. When first used, Diamine Mozart looks very like Diamine Bach from the same Music Collection. I did my reviews of Bach and Mozart with different pens and nib sizes, (sorry!) so I have done written comparisons of them both with the same pen. I knew having two Lamy Nexx pens with M nibs would come in useful! I think that Bach is slightly darker and contains slightly less red. It also seems to have a drier flow in the same type of pen that I used with Mozart. However, it's flow was excellent in the B nib pen that I originally reviewed it with. It just goes to show that some inks suit some pen/nib combinations better than others.
- Bearing in mind the paper I use is very smooth, and the nib was a M steel nib, this ink took 10-12 secs to dry.
- It flows quite wet, and lubricates the nib quite well.
- It is currently available in the Music Gift set of 10 x 30ml glass bottles and is also now available in 30ml plastic refill bottles from Diamine. The glass bottles are lovely, but are not available separately. The plastic bottles are less stable and fewer pens fit into them for filling.
- Water test on the review form shows this isn't a waterproof ink.
- Diamine sell it directly to end-users on their web-site.
- It's a reasonable price.
