The Opera Master is my favorite line from Visconti, and the Polynesia model is visually stunning. It is even more impressive in person than in photographs. However, as is well-known, Visconti’s quality control has room for significant improvement. Despite these challenges, I must commend Appelboom’s customer service, which was excellent throughout the process.

I treated myself to this gem for my birthday. I was a little worried about the weight but it sits comfortably in my hand. If you are used to larger pens like Montblanc 149 or Opus Koloro demo, I think you would not have a problem.

I am very happy with the custom grind nib by Appelboom, I ordered a medium cursive italic, and it gives me a very crisp line variation. The nib is adequately soft for a pleasant writing experience.

On some paper, it can skip. It performs best on Tomoe River paper. In my experience, it works best if you turn the piston nob at the end of the pen to give it a generous ink flow.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for something with both appearance and performance.

What a gorgeous pen! Wonderful in design and even better as a writer. The new Visconti nib is soft and an elegant writer. I am able to get quite a bit of line variation with ease. I actually have a sense of joy each time I use this pen. There is just something about it that makes it a showstopper. I contemplated this pen since I first saw it. I was concerned that the color would not be masculine enough but in person, this is a pen that is works for both men and women. One thing that the photos cannot show is the depth of the color in the material. Every time I look at this pen, I find something new that I love. The price point is high but after seeing the quality of the unit, I can understand the value that you receive. I love this pen and if you are contemplating buying one, treat yourself and purchase it! I have purchased quite a few pens from Joost and he is always a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to work with. He lives to his word and I appreciate his honesty.
