A calligraphy piece of equipment that can be overlooked, but it is definitely an essential part of the calligrapher's tools is the holder of the calligraphy pen. Holders can be wood or plastic with very rare and very exquisite Venetian glass option, a much and are often combined with metal fittings.
When choosing a calligraphy pen holder you need to take a couple of things into consideration: the mechanism that keeps the tip in place and the barrel of the needle. Some brands of pens are of a different size to others and therefore only fit the specific manufacturer holders. The weight and circumference of the barrel of the pen affect the pen can easily be grabbed. Some plastic lines can be very smooth and become slippery after being used for any length of time you do that tension in the hand while the handle is squeezed.
Some calligraphers prefer to get a pen holder with a bundle of cork or rubber grip grooved at the point where the fingers grip the barrel. It's all up to the individual calligrapher and do not know how you feel about a barrel of the pen until a particular meaning in his hand. Some calligraphers prefer to feel a heavy instrument, while others prefer to be light so they can feel the tip sharper.
When you buy a set of calligraphy, the owner of a calligraphy pen will be included with it. You do not necessarily have to use what comes with the package. Most of times you can buy one separately and use the tips that came with the set. As mentioned above, some pen holders are specific to their manufacturers own ends. Pelikan pens, for example, can only be used with its own holder because the complex nature of the connection, which includes small languages metal and the hooks that link together.
It's a good idea to have a test drive with any holder of the pen that is considering buying. It should feel comfortable right now because, if it is comfortable to wear, before you start writing it will be very uncomfortable afterwards.
If a device grip on the barrel of the pen you need to make sure it fits perfectly without any movement. A shaky pen holder is not conducive to making strokes soft line. Then verify that the tip is directly in alignment with the holder. Any misalignment will prove to be a major distraction.
Calligraphy pen holders are not necessarily items priced particularly high. Equipped with a high quality pen, the holder will be clearer future as effective as an expensive, fancy as all get out one.
Selecting calligraphy pens is the first step before taking up the art of calligraphy and it is a step that should be made carefully. Visit The Calligraphy Pen for more information that should help make that choice.

Calligraphy pen set question?
I bought a beginners handwritten calligraphy set (the one with 3 points today) and sumi ink tube. So theres these 2 tubes (converters ink?) I do not know what to do with them. theres a Picutre of how to put them in a barrel. The 2 is assumed to enter only 1 can enter, and it cannot turn on the tip. What should I do? Indian whoops my bad
Sumi ink is carbon based and will not perform well in pens. You need to buy "thin water" based inks that are specially formulated ink converters for use in fountain pens. The little "plunger" are used to fill the ink bottles (compared with the use of cartridges).
