- How does a Sailor extra-fine nib write in comparison with the medium-fine? How does it write in comparison to a Lamy extra-fine? What exactly does a zoom nib do? How thick is the Sailor Music nib? All of these curiosities are answered in this comparison video that shows all the various Sailor fountain pen nib sizes side-by-side for an apples to apples evaluation. Ink used is Sailor Jentle Blue-Black. Music is Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2, S. 244/2, orch. arr. by composer Franz Liszt and performed by the National Military Band.

I have to say I have never been more pleased by an ad that I accidentally clicked on
Fine, medium-fine, medium, broad and *SHARPIE* thanks for the info
More like medical needle (EF), sewing needle (F), extra-fine (M-F), fine (M), fine-medium (broad), soft tip (zoom), sketch pen/sharpie (music). Sailor need bb & bbb nibs along with enlarging their large pens.
Thank you so much! I’m going to keep this video in my archives for further reference for future Sailor pen purchases!
Thanks; now it seems my favorite Sailor nib now is Broad. The same way Nike shoes tend to run smaller and slenderer on my feet, Sailor nibs tend to be finer. My Purple Cosmos is a fine nib; it's quite toothy, which is not my preference. The Broad seems to give me the expressiveness I like without being gushy and thick, and I'm sure it will be a smoother writing experience.
I totally get it! Need that buttery smoothness!
I'm usually firmly in the EF to FM camp, but the B nib is very nice for Western writing.

@@GoldspotPens can you please tell me which ink is the green one on Omas
Great video. Exactly what I was wanting to see. Love the music nib and background music too.
Superb demonstration on nibs, thank you so much!
Superlative video, and the comparison with the Lamy EF as well as the Omas Medium makes it all clear. Thanks for presenting this.
I'm back. This is the PERFECT info video, thanks. Love the super closeups. I would happily see similar vids of any pen series you sell. Perhaps on graph paper for scale?
Love seeing each of these write!!!
I swear by Sailor nibs, they have a velvety touch on the paper, they glide, a joy to use.
This is an excellent info video. Thank you.
I use different size nib points for different kinds of writing. My favorite general writing nib is the Japanese B nib. It is vaguely like a wet Western M nib, but it lays a bolder line while being very smooth. I have mostly Danitrio, Platinum and Namiki nibs. I need to try some Sailor nibs, too. This video is good motivation to get going on the Sailor trials.
Nice video. Loved the purple ink in the Lamy
Beautiful
A very helpful comparison video, thanks.
Those macro shots are like pen porn 🙈... This is really a nice video! Thanks!

Someone had a lot of fun making this video.
More videos like this...........PLEASE.
Excellent video. It may have cured my craving for a zoom nib.
nope
Wow. That was an amazing video 😍🖋📜!!
This is going to be difficult
great video
useful
precise
wonderful
love it
That was fun!
Great video and presentation, keep up the good work
great video! could you tell us what's the ink in the Lamy nib? the violet one, that's such a nice color!
So satisfying at the beginning
@Goldspotpens Thanks for sharing this. A very useful comparison. 👍🏼
How lovely
Delicious!
Somebody help. I just purchased my first two sailors, have 14 Kt f and mf. Both very scratchy on tr paper. Will they get better or should I try to do something with them? Thanks.
And love the video.
@@jasondaniel918 thanks.one had a misaligned nib that I sent back for replacement, with excellent customer service from a well known company, the second I worked on with a kit as you suggested, and am quite pleased.
@Wenda Ellis Macdonald, try and use sailor inks next time to see if there really is a problem with your pens. Be aware that sailors do have a sharp point pencil like feedback. My steel sailor, loaded with Sailor Black or Sailor kiwaguro always - always makes me smile with the feedback it gives me.
Is it only me or the tipping in broad and medium nib seemed quite similar to the zoom nib?
That "Zoom" nib looks awesome. That writing at 3:42 was just so satisfying to watch ^_^
What I want to know is how you get a Lamy F or EF to write with such a smooth, juicy flow. Please share.
Sometimes, it might not be the pen or the nib to blame. It might be the ink and paper. Try different inks first. You may find one that has wetter flow for your Lamy nibs. A smoother grade of paper, one that is more fountain pen friendly may also provide better performance over toothy, recycled papers.
@@GoldspotPens Thanks, I have been using Lamy cartridges. I'll try some other combos
I have the sailor music nib and it is great -- even use it for calligraphy.
How does the Sailor 1911 21kt nib in med. fine compare to a Parker Duofold Centennial (1990 ver.) in a med. nib. I have looking for a quality daily use pen with a smooth feel and not a wet writer. I like the Sailor Professional Gear in black/gold trim and cannot decide if I should consider a medium or medium fine nib. Some of my Cross mediums lean to the wet side and I am a slow writer with style on the slightly smaller side of med.
Sailor nibs have a toothy feel, especially if you write with a medium-fine or finer. I'd suggest medium or broad.
Damn!!! A hard start from the 21 k fine nib!!! 😥😥😥
Did you specify the brand and make of the writing paper or did I miss something. Is this Tomoe River paper? If not can you do the same comparison using TR paper at some point.
Doesn't look like TR paper to me. Better than copy paper? Maybe Rhodia?
Same question
Brilliant Thank you
La Sailor fa dei pennini che sono opere d'Arte.
Awesome awesome awesome video
I have a vintage Sailor 1911 demonstrator with a nib TIGP. I have no clue. Any help?
Lovely !
Really good video.
Is there a tiny difference between medium and broad? In the video it looks like the same. Which is better from the feeling?
There is a small difference. If you're looking for smoother, then I'd suggest the broad.
@@GoldspotPens thanks for feedback
@@lalekonus2436 pun intended!
7:20 love this ink..
+saintzeno I love this ink too. Do you or anybody here can say what ink it is??
I think it is lamy turquoise
What paper is being used for the sailor demos please ?..
winelover215 rhodia 80gsm plain paper
Tom Oddo Thanks Tom!
Yes, we do have this size, plus larger and smaller sizes as well. Search Rhodia staplebound plain pad on goldspot.com
Thanks, Larry. Unfortunately, we don't carry Tomoe River paper at this time.
Great comparison / writing sample. Thank you. Does the S and L you write after 1911 stand for Standard 1911 size pen and Large 1911 size pen?
Split screen Lamy EF and Sailor EF - genius!
Thank you. Yes, it does signify the 1911 standard and 1911 large.
@@GoldspotPens Thank you.
Hello
Would you recommend/suggest fine or medium fine? Which nib writes wetter? I’m confused between the two.
They have an extremely subtle difference between the two. The medium-fine would write a small degree thicker and wetter than the fine point.
What is the paper?
I'm curious about the paper you used.
Hi! What paper was used? Lovely texture!
awsome video ... excellent....
Did you smooth the nib before test. Sailor nib look like wetness in here, more than usual.
Tom Oddo What kind of alternatives were made to the nib?
What was that pen rolled case at the beginning?
beautiful! What paper is this??
Do you find a difference between rhodium plated and gold?
No discernible difference.
@@GoldspotPens Thank you! I just bought a Four Seasons and can't wait for it to come in.
What kind of paper is that?
Sailor feeds are beautiful
Thank you for illustrating how bad these Sailor pens are. I have never seen this much skipping in even entry-level fountain pens. I think I will stay with my Montblanc pens.
What was the turquoise ink?
To be honest, I don't recall since it was such a long time ago. It most likely was PW Akkerman Treves Turquoise.
ऐसा पेन कहा मिलेगा,उस स्टोअर या उसका मिलनेका address बताना चाहिए.क्योकी हम भी ऐसा पेन मंगवा सकते है
love your videos!
Not a helpful video. They love the music and the embellishments. What pen has what nib??
Tan linda pluma. Merece una mejor letra.
Incrível
LEGIT
That’s poor ink flow
ATTENTION: Gaming
All those pens cost hundred thousands AND IF YOU BUY ALL OF THEM IT WILL COST a million by the way just get a mont blanc it's much more cool but more ABIT expensive
All those hard starts are unacceptable.
