William Mitchell, No. 0268, Music Writing Nib

William Mitchell 3 Line Decorative Music Nib 0268 is a model made on the basis of a vintage nib. The pointed, flexible nib has three tines, thanks to which you can get decorative effects.

This narrow square-cut nib has a good amount of flex, making it work for broad-edged alphabets that involve pressure/release techniques. Instead of 2 tines, this nib has 3 tines. Carol duBosch uses it to directly write small Ben Shahn-inspired letters. Rachel Yallop uses it for very large pointed pen script.
