Aww! May your future be blessed with many tiny pen pillows! Rock on, Drew!

[vageli]

Drew, I hope Brian won't be upset, but you taking over the new pen intros has been great fun.
Keep them coming. Thank you for all of you, and all you all do for all of us Pen People every day.
😎

Thanks Drew. You always do a good job explaining all the details of a pen. When a question forms in my mind...then you address it :) BLESSINGS

[joshschwerin]

Great review! You were so kind to that baby spider...

[atlasmomier]

What a beautiful set of pens! I don’t have a demonstrator yet, any suggestions for my first?

[archivist]

The most attractive Visconti yet IMHO.

[michaelmedlinger]

I am so bloody envious of you guys getting to see and try out all these wonderful new pens! Ultimately, a lot of them are not necessarily what I would buy, but I would love to have a good close look at them and have a trial period. Unfortunately, there are also a lot I would be VERY tempted to own!
I had to laugh at “Visconti Crimson Tide”! Is there an Alabama alumnus over there in Italy?🤪

[hikingpipes]

Me like. I think the blue may be in the future. I have been saving for a Pilot custom 823 (smoke) but I may have to take a detour. I appreciated the size comparison.

[endtimestruthrevelation]

I agree with you here Drew, I think the Opera is better for heavy writing as opposed to the Opera Master. Wish they had this one in the Tobacco/Turtle, but I do really like the green and blue.

I feel like the nib looks like the helmets of one of the Star Wars troopers. May be it's just me. Nice looking pen though. Drew, since you're a fountain pen megastar, may be Visconti can make an actual pillow for you. Just make sure it's over 100 thread count -- whatever that means. :)

[leebyrd]

You think the pillow is standard equipment now?

[leumas]

If Visconti made an Opera Master Brünnhilde, I’d buy that one. I like big pens and I cannot lie.

[Hinagiku]

Ooo these pens are super pretty! I don’t think these are a pen I would use. I love as you call “super demonstrators”. I assume twsbis would be a super demonstrator? I love my twsbis. But I now know these exist if I ever meet someone who talks about visconti 😊thank you for showing these Drew!

[cecilialim]

Any idea what material the nib is made of? How's the ink flow? Smooth or scratchy?

[Taib]

Hello
I have a question. Is there any difference between Noodlers black 3 oz and Noodlers black 4.5 oz? Can I mix them? I am asking this question because the label on the 4.5 oz is a little bit different, especially the catfish. Thanks for answering.

[uihcmoht]

The pink is beautiful.
I wonder how the candy cane acrylic of the opera master is even casted.

[pugflyer]

do the lots of fingerprints mean there was lots of fondling of the pens?

[RobotPorter]

It is a beautiful pen. But without Dante, Visconti has lost a few steps on the design front. And at $600 a pop, it feels overpriced. Still, if someone wants to give me one, I wouldn't say no. 😄😁😉

[bartgrossman]

I'd be really interested at 400-450. $600 is just too much. This why I only what a few Viscontis.

[bbrachman]

Fountain pen or health insurance? Hmmm.
