MONTEGRAPPA
SYMPHONY YELLOW FOUNTAIN PEN
The Symphony line, by Montegrappa,
epitomizes how a writing instrument should perform and feel. It is
Montegrappa's foremost triumph in developing and producing the ideal line of
writing instruments.
It is also the most emotional development
for the Aquila family, owners of Montegrappa, as it unites its past and
present. It is a symbolic line for the company which over the past four
years re-tooled and focussed on user-friendly, classic writing instruments
made of or embellished with precious metals. For the first time since 1946,
when a fire destroyed the company's entire celluloid stock, Montegrappa
again presents a standard range made of this choice material which produces
vivid colors, is light in weight and extremely durable.
Over two years ago when the idea was
conceived, Montegrappa set out to produce what they believe to be the ideal
pen.
After many changes along the way, the time
has arrived to be judged by the most demanding of writing instrument
connoisseurs.
It will perform flawlessly, is comfortable
to hold, is economically priced and trouble free. When everything comes
together: the choice of material, solutions to technical challenges and
satisfaction of emotional aspects, a harmony presided much like a symphony
and thus Montegrappa named the creation - Symphony.
Symphony features Montegrappa's unique and
world renowned octagonal shaped body machined from a rod of pearlized
celluloid cured to perfection. The trim and writing sections are made
entirely of sterling silver. The Symphony is fitted with Montegrappa's
signature clip characterized by its curvilinear shape and rolling ball.
The fountain is threaded on both sides of
the pen's barrel to prevent accidental damage to the pen's finish and
allowing the cap the be attached to the barrel while writing. The 18 karat
flexible gold nib, plated with platinum and tipped with irridium, is smooth
and responsive. Featuring an ebonite feed system, assuring smooth and
consistent flow, the pen accepts standard cartridges or use the included
convertor for bottled ink.
