Really helpful review and truly, thank you for your honesty! I recently got a friend into fountain pens (started him on the Pilot Metro) and was brainstorming what 'next level' pen I could gift him for the holidays. Stumbled on this one on sale at Pen Chalet for ~$60 but I have no experience with Monteverde pens. This review saves me some money and him an poor writing experience! :)
I just got mine, and I'm having the exact same experience. It wouldn't write out of the box, and the nib is really stingy, causing a lot of skipping. And the pen is much too heavy. It feels like a cheap pen. I really hope I can return it.
Thanks for validating my frustrations with the nib it came with. I received mine as a birthday present during shelter-in-place. Yafa just sent me a replacement nib cartridge, and it writes slightly better. I think I'll buy a new nib anyway...

Yeah, I agree. Try a Goulet nib with this pen. It's unfortunate the stock nib is so bad because the pen is so pretty.
Nice review, thank you!
Good review. I just subscribed...
Monteverdi has recently changed to a new nib. I’m curious about how they work with the new nib.
That's good to know!
Very very wonder this fountain pen , what its the price ?
It's around $100
