Do you need to be able to write and read music, notes, to fully enjoy the Music nib? Do you have to be able to draw complicated charts for music and be an aficionado of music? Of course not - it may help you find a practical use for the pen, but the three tined musical nib on the Pilot Custom 74 is a fun experience regardless and only if you enjoy super fine lines you may have a true concern against this nib. For me, I don't find it particularly good for my handwriting. I don't read music nor do I hold any illusions of me being able to write correct notes or charts. But I don't care, this juicy nib makes doodling, sketching and just write a few words or draw lines something fun.
