    Default Music Nib For Parker Sonnet?

    Does this exist or can one be purchased to fit the Sonnet?

    One could be made but it would not be inexpensive.

    Im sure it would be expensive. Pretty much every pen I have would need to have one custom made for it. I just for some reason want it for this one,lol. Where might I go for someone who can make a music nib?

    If you want a music nib why don't you go for a Platinum 3776 or a Neponsit?

    Thats possible but I am one who gets very used to the pens I have. The way they feel and such. Buying one of those would mean getting used to another pen.

    You would need to supply a gold nib as a starting point. Figure around 200 for the work minimum.

    If I were going to have a music nib made, and if it were going to cost upwards of $200, I think I would prefer to have it made for a 51 or a Duofold or a Vacumatic. This is just a suggestion, but I don't think the Sonnet gets enough respect to spend $200 plus on one. The Sonnets do get respect from me, and I have a couple of dozen or so of them, with nibs ranging from extra fine to broad italic. I just don't think you could recoup the cost if you were to sell the pen.
