Kirk Speer just did a two sided grind on a Sailor music nib for me. Stub on forward side and medium on the reverse. The BBG from JJ Lax is similar but more italic than stub on the forward side. Both excellent grinds. Turned stock nibs that were meh into something much more fun.
Fabulous, truly. I have a stub on the regular and an architect on the reverse on a Jowo M by him. Super cool. Never thought to do something on a music nib… you got me thinking.
You seem to have a rather good grasp of your own calligraphic talents, but I do wish that you were perhaps be as committed to applying some of your obvious orthographic abilities because while you may: "complies with list.." and "reveres" rather than reverses, presuming that you weren't referencing either silverware or an Old North Church in Boston, I found such transpositions both disconcerting to your flow of sentience and unexpected considering how professionally and meticulously you examine the other minutae of your subject matter.
Perhaps it's just the pressure of a self-imposed deadline or some occasional distrust of using ABC proofing tools, which I agree aren't at their best with homophonic miswordings, but I plead with you for a more careful review of your essay or article's semantic and syntactic content before its release into the world of orthographic obsessives such as myself?

I really love very fine stubs for just that bit of flair. My favorite nib is a Franklin-Christoph EF SIG
That one hits different. I have the B SIG and sometimes I wish I’d gone with a smaller size… but only sometimes ;)
FINALLY!!!
As I was writing about the third one I thought of you <3
