Pros & Cons
Pros
Speedball ink, nibs, and holders from speedball are an adequate quality. Useful for my sketches and watercolor. Solid set for the amateur tinkerer in calligraphy.
Speedball nibs, holders, and inks are all good quality, and really inexpensive.
Cons
The quill itself isn't so bad but most of the tips look like they were made from scrap metal. They’re so scratchy. Even the flex bib isn’t very flexible. These are trash.

Great quality the ink flowed nicely and the variety of sizes makes it a great starter set
The quality of the fine lines is unequaled
The holder for the nibs cracked and brokebut to be fair i’d had them for 5 years
Price
Nice set for a beginner at a good price
This a great beginning tool for ppl or artists starting out its exactly what you need at an affordable price as you learn and grow
Nine bucks for a handle or seven buck for two handles and five nibs
