One pen that I regret having sold is a MB Johannes Brahms with an EF nib. I am seriously considering replacing it with another with a medium nib, and having Mike Masuyama grind it to a medium stub, as I love his medium stubs on my FC pens. Please help enable me. :thank_you2:

How much is a Johannes Brahms MB? Is that a special edition?
Can an ordinary MB be a consideration?
And go with Pendleton grind this time for a change.

I'm not an enabler, just giving you some ideas to consider :)

PW,
The JB appeals to me as I'm a musician, and the tuning fork clip, and 5 lines representing a music staff on the cap ...speak to me. I also like the flat top to the cap as a departure from my 149 or 146. May look into the Pendleton grind, but I really am enamored with Mike Masuyama's Medium Stub grind though...

I was trying to encourage you to get another one...

It has been a few years since the kids were saying it but they used to say YOLO, "you only live once", to justify just about any kind of behavior.

...just a couple of cents, but...if you already regret selling your first - you may also regret Not buying your second. I hate to be an enabler, BUT if you have the money and can comfortably buy it, then I would do it!
Good luck to you in any case :)

Buy it but before you do, talk to Mike about what nib to get in order to grind it to your specifications. If you want a medium stub, he would probably prefer you supply him with a broad or double broad so he has more to work with.

This advise was given to me by John Mottishaw.

Thanks Rudy. I wrote Mike to see what he would suggest...
