Noodlers Neponset Fountain Pens Reviews

Just ordered my second one, love these. They make my handwritting look great. Can't beat the price for value here!

This pen, in Red Rebellion ebonite, is the second Neponset I've gotten in my second adventure with this pen. I'm glad I made the effort.

In use, it has the vaunted "velvet stroke". Writing with a very light hand, it tends somewhere between a Medium and Broad nib; writing with a somewhat heavier hand expands that to a Broad to Double Broad; and a little more approaches a Triple Broad or Coarse. That's more pressure than I'm comfortable with, though, so I'll call its MB to BB width good and resort to dip pens if I think I need more.

ALWAYS heat treat any Noodler pen. Love this pen since did it.

Noodler's is doing some funky stuff when it comes to pens and this pen is one funky pen. A music nib with ebonite feed in full ebonite body for around 70 USD is a lot of pen for the money. Some folks have had issues with their music nibs but mine write well out of the box. These steel nibs don't flex like vintage gold nibs so don't expect that when you buy this pen but most definitely give good line variation. I recommend using it with inks that don't feather much and on good quality paper.

As a collector this pen fits in well with my collection. The evolution of pens, materials and styles is fascinating. This style is still unique.

I chose the Seven Pines Ebonite and the figure is quite nice. The music nib is excellent, writes well and is quite responsive to pressure to alter the line weight with no railroading. In addition for a three tine nib is exceptionally smooth which makes it lots of fun to use.

I am a huge fan of ebonite pens. The size and shape of this pen is perfect. For its size, it is quite light at 23.2 grams capped and filled and 14.6 grams uncapped and filled. Writing with its music nib is a unique experience. It is quite smooth and even when I am not intentionally flexing, I still get a bit on line variation and it makes my writing look much nicer than it normally is. The flow is very wet so good quality paper is a must. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

First time to use Noodler’s “Music Nib”. I really like it! Wide range of flex. The ebonite is beautifully patterned and matched in a very complimentary way. Have ordered two more colors! with music nib!

Cool pen! Very flexible nib. To me, it writes like a broad nib when not flexed.

I felt like Goldilocks when I purchased this pen. The first was too dry and would skip while writing. The second was too wet and bold to be practical for note-taking and writing. But the third one was just right. Gave me a fine-medium line when barely touching the page, then exploding to BBB when I laid on the pressure. Really an awesome pen once you find the one you like. Ebonite is an interesting material too. Feels fragile to me, so I'm babying it in a pen case. Really great ink capacity if you use the Noodler's 308 cartridges with it. 2.7ml is a lot of ink for this gusher of a pen!
