Design and concept
The Custom 74 series is known for its clean, classic design, ideal for those who appreciate functionality without compromising on elegance. This version features a glossy black resin body with gold trim, evoking traditional Japanese refinement. The curved clip, adorned with the Pilot logo, adds a distinctive and practical touch.
Brand heritage and philosophy
Pilot has spent over a century perfecting the writing experience, combining precision engineering with the artistry of Japanese calligraphy. Within this legacy, the music nib was born—originally designed to help musicians handwrite musical scores legibly and fluently, even from a music stand. The unique three-tine construction offers a broader and more fluid line, ideal for staff lines and notations. Over time, it evolved into a favorite among calligraphers and creative writers who seek bold, expressive strokes with rich ink flow.
Functionality and filling system
At its core lies the 14K gold music nib with three tines, allowing line variation depending on pressure and writing direction. Ideal for artistic writing, cursive scripts, signatures, and manuscript music. It uses Pilot's proprietary cartridges or converters. This model includes the high-capacity CON-70 converter but is also compatible with the CON-40.
Package contents
The pen comes in an individual box, including one installed CON-70 converter and one Pilot ink cartridge.

Con mucha personalidad.
Así escribe este plumín tan especial, con mucha personalidad, lejos de los convencionales plumines finos o medios. Es una nueva experiencia, similar a un plumín "stub", pero con sus diferencias, dejando apreciar los bonitos sombreados de tus tintas. Muy especial. Como dice el compañero, compone una bonita melodía en la escritura.
Muchas gracias por el tintero de regalo y, especialmente, por tu amable mensaje manuscrito que aprecio mucho. Saludos a todos.
