"The "Monteverde Regatta" as breath taking as a sail catching  wind in the Caribbean.  Writes with a strong line and holds it's course well."

Reintroducing the Monteverde Regatta line of pens. Although the original Regatta line first appeared in the Monteverde line-up many years ago, it's been recreated in new finishes -- and most importantly -- with a new feature in the fountain pen and rollerball versions...
                                                                     It caps and posts magnetically!

The original iteration of the design had a screw-on cap -- which also screwed on the rear to post. The new version employs magnetic technology to bring you the ease of a slip cap, with the security of a screw cap. To my mind, the best of both worlds.

These are oversized pens, with the fountain pen measuring 5-3/8" capped, 6-3/8" posted and 5" with cap held aside.

The largely metal pens alternate metal sections with resin panels, separated by diamond-cut rings...creating a very distinctive look. Although the pens have a nice heft, this design prevents an overly-heavy pen, and I've found them to be very well-balanced and a pleasure to write with during extended composing sessions.

I've also found myself becoming enamored of the ease-of-use of the magnetic cap technology. It makes for jotting a quick note a very easy endeavor compared to a screw-type cap, and also enables me to quickly pick-up any paperclips that have fallen to the floor. The instantly secure posting of the cap is also a boon. I hope that more pens will make use of this innovative idea.

The cap bank is engraved with 'Monteverde USA' on the front, and 'Regatta' on the back. The cap itself is crowned in relief with the Monteverde mountain peaks logo.

The nib is similarly engraved with 'Monteverde USA', along with the Monteverde mountain logo and nib size. The nibs are available in B, M, F or the new stub sizes. I've found that Monteverde nibs run about a size smaller than typical western nibs. Hence, I'd classify the B nib as a typical medium, the M as a fine and the F as an x-fine. The stub is a 1.1 mm medium. Please specify the nib size you'd like, by letter or 'stub' only, to avoid confusion when ordering.

The fountain pens come with a piston converter for bottled ink...but as with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of dishwashing soap (two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through a new converter a few times (outside of the pen!), followed by water only. Step one is effective at removing manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic in heading from the converter to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect. The pen will also take International-style cartridges, such as those from Private Reserve. The Monteverde gift box and warranty are included.

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors  -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.

The only 100% guarantee of course comes when the pen is actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!
