Platinum 3776 Century Music Chartres Blue. MUSIC NIB

#3776 CENTURY Fountain Pen. MUSIC NIB

Gold trim. 

The “Chartres Blue” has incorporated the image of the blue color of the stained glasses in the Chartres Cathedral in France, which are said to be the most beautiful glasses in the world. The stained glasses that have a historic value are from the 11th to the 13th centuries and are known worldwide for their beauty. Particularly, the blue color, which is illuminated by light, expresses both deep and clear feelings and it is called “Chartres Blue.” The model was made with the image of the sacred color. 

The innovative cap contains a unique “Slip & Seal mechanism” that prevents ink from drying out in the pen with a complete airtightness thereby allowing those who only use the pen once or twice a year to write with fresh new ink. Meanwhile, a newly redesigned nib and feed regulate the ink flow. The ink will not dry out even if left for over a year. An added benefit is improved resistance to leaks due to pressure changes.

Made of resin, semi-translucent blue body, the Platinum 3776 Century Music Pen appears identical on the outside to the Platinum 3776 Century Chartres Blue fountain pen.

14k gold Music Nib. The line width on the music tip is around 1.0 to 1.3mm on the broadest down-stroke and as fine as 0.3mm on the thinnest cross stroke.

*The Platinum Music Nib is a true traditional three tined music nib, unlike some modern interpretations which might be more accurately described as “soft stub” nibs. The traditionally styled three tines allow for the ultimate precision in both nib flex and ink flow.
