WOW! It looks like you can finally letter beautiful Copperplate or Spencerian with a fountain pen! It is a
SWAN 4500 Noodle Pen
You get beautiful thick & thins with just a slight adjustment in pressure...looks kinda like a brush marker but it has a thin metal tongue on the end to get the very fine hairlines & rubber instead of felt - I believe they're made in England.
Watch it beautifully demonstrated here by azavalia1

Hi,
I came across your blog when I was searching for calligraphy classes in Edmonton. My sister, 20, lives in Edmonton, goes to UofA and is very interested in calligraphy. This would be my birthday present for her from across the world (I am in Turkey). I really really appreciate if you could suggest any courses or workshops for calligraphy. My e-mail address is mdfatma@gmail.com
Thank you
