    Default Hello from Sydney, Australia

    Hey all! My name's Tim, currently a student and assistant pen specialist in the Sydney CBD. I love fountain pens, handwriting, calligraphy and music. I'm currently in my third year of a Bachelor of Music Education at the Sydney Conservatorium.

    My favourite pen at the moment is my vintage Parker '51' Aero-metric, which I currently have inked up with Montblanc "Toffee Brown".

    Hi Tim & welcome to the FPG forum.

    A classic pen & nice ink.
    Do you use music nibs ?

    Thanks I agree, the Toffee Brown has a quality which gives it amazing shade variation!

    As for the music nibs - I would if I owned one. I plan on buying one soon.
