  • In the fall of 2019, Brian and Drew traveled to Italy and during their trip, they were fortunate enough to travel to Bassano Del Grappa in Northern Italy, home of the Montegrappa headquarters. An amazing facility run by an inspiring leader in a stunningly beautiful town, the experience was truly unforgettable. The opportunity to hear the story and see the magic behind such a prolific brand was something we wanted to share with you, so we did our best to do just that. We hope you enjoy it!

    holy fuck now I know why the pens are so expensive... they're definitely worth it. maybe one day... 😂 also a totally different tone to the lamy factory. both go through similar processes but the focus and atmosphere seem incredibly different

  • @zehnmoriarty3228

    Quick question: How often can we reuse the same distilled water for cleaning fountain pens?

    • @Gouletpens
      @Gouletpens  Před 4 lety +2

      Kind of like what Moses said. What helps though is if you flush a bunch of times with some water to get most of the ink out, then do a final flush with new, clean water. It saves water that way and still gets it clean. -Brian

    • @zehnmoriarty3228
      @zehnmoriarty3228 Před 4 lety +1

      The Goulet Pen Company - Brain, Thanks for the advice! I used tap water to rinse out the ink
      Then used my pen’s converter to suck in the distilled water and dump it in the sink so I don’t waste the distilled water. No build up in the pen at all.

  • @suhonen91
    @suhonen91 Před 4 lety +3

    I bought Montegrappa mosaico Roma from massdrop and it dries capped under 24h (with provided ink). I do not know how to fix it. My other cheaper fountain pens are far better behaving than this.

    • @animenolifer2
      @animenolifer2 Před 4 lety +2

      i have this problem with my Parker Urban. I put Pilot Namiki ink in it and it wrote every day after 3yrs of this problem, so maybe try Namiki ink? It's a fast flowing type. However...the actual problem was that the ink was visibly drying up in the converter at about 0.1ml a day :| So I stopped inking it

    Wow! What a wonderful story and the pens... well, let's just say they are amazing. Someday I hope to visit the factory and to own one of these fine pens. Have you spoken to the factory, how are they doing with the COVIN outbreak. Wish them well.

    I’ll always love Aurora best. But I’m very fond of my handful of Montegrappa pens - and inks - as well. The Copper Mule and the Elmo are my favourites, though the Game of Thrones is very cool, too. I’d love to have more Montegrappa pens; it’s just that many of their other pens are rather too overly ostentatious and gaudy for my tastes. But their steel nibs are possibly the best in this business. I’d be over the moon to traipse around their factory and see where these beauties are born.

    • @Gouletpens
      @Gouletpens  Před 4 lety

      @sajjadhusain4146 Před 4 lety

      The Goulet Pen Company ...Oh yes, very true. Both are flagship Italian pen brands and they are just differently fabulous. Like say, comparing Armani and Versace. An inexact analogy, I know, but you get the drift. I’m keen to buy at least one more Montegrappa and an Aurora pen this year. Can’t decide which ones to get. But I will. Your video tour here bumped me into wanting to buying a new gorgeous Grappa. Will you stock some of their splendid inks sometime?
