Good quality set of nibs
The nibs are of a decent quality and come with a reservoir each, so no fiddly swapping parts around when you want to change nibs. Direct dipping with Indian ink they tended to flood too much onto the paper on the first stroke, but loading from a paintbrush or blotting off some of the excess solved this. The two smallest nibs are quite blunt for their size, so there is little noticeable difference in stroke width with direction. If you need small nibs, maybe look at other options, or be prepared to sharpen them.

Seems fine for beginners
Nibs are a snug fit into the pen. They write smoothly and give a nice result. I am a complete beginner and managed to make something that looked nice so they seem easy to use.

Brilliant
So far its brilliant!
As being a complete beginner with anything Calligraphy wise, I'd say this is the best to start out with.
It's inexpensive, sturdy and the variety of nibs is great for practising beginner scripts.
The only issue making it less that 5* is sometimes you have to tamper with the ink plate under the nib as it moves about and spills ink. (easily sorted by adjusting it though.)

Great for starters
Purchased this after recently getting into calligraphy and lettering. A great purchase for beginners. Own really easy to hold, a variety of jobs to use and practice with. Overall, I’d recommend this to anyone wanting to get into this as a hobby.

Perfect starter calligraphy pen
I struggled to know which calligraphy pen to get, but after going to my local hobbycraft store I was sure to be well set.
I have used my pen for many things, I’ve even used it whilst sitting on a swing.
Beautiful writing and lovely nibs, I bet you anything you’ll want first dibs.
My Christmas cards are now complete and the staff of hobbycraft you’ll want to meet!

Really good starter
I needed pen in order to do a calligraphy course and I found this to be easy to use and comfortable to hold for prolonged periods. I used a couple of the different sized nibs and got good results. I was going to upgrade, but these are great, so will continue to use them.
