Franklin-Christoph “Christoph” Music Nib

Now here’s something truly special: a nice, modern music nib.  Expect 0% flex, but it does offer serious line variation, being a 1.9 mm italic.  Three tines, two slits, superb ink flow, and a wonderfully smooth writing experience.

As promised, I have tried to put this nib in a number of popular pens. I haven’t inked up all of these pens, so I can’t guarantee a wet writing performance, but the nib fits easily in these pens.
