Looking for a music writing pen

Author: ron b  Date:   2004-02-23 03:40 Eons ago when I did some manuscripting for personal use I bought a music writing pen. It was so-so but got the job done adequately for my purpose. I'm wondering now, through the magic of cyber communication, if there are still such pens being made; possibly better quality than those of long ago. I haven't begun to seriously search yet but I thought perhaps someone might steer me in the right direction. I'm persently using a calligraphy pen that I ground to a finer point than as it came from the store. It work well but doesn't have the "spring" I'm looking for. The music pen had two slits, allowing for wider variations of the stroke, whereas the calligraphy pens have just one and is not quite as 'flexible' as I remember the old one to be. My present muscial endeavors require that I do quite a bit of copying/transposing at times -- not a steady diet, fortunately -- so I'm looking for something to make the job not necessarily easier, although that would be nice, but a little more "authentic". - rn b -
