Finding a great pencil has been surprisingly difficult. Mechanical pencils have their place, but the leads are fragile. The small, plastic containers of replacements are easy to misplace, and the erasers are tiny things. <\/p>\n<p>While there are many excellent pencils that do the wood\/shape\/graphite combination very well (Derwent, Caran d\u2019Ache, Dixon) finding a one with great eraser is a challenge (an aside: I\u2019m surprised that so many \u201cpremium\u201d pencils have no eraser at all. While I could use a separate eraser, I lose those as often as I lose lead containers). <\/p>\n<p>It was with much delight I found the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B006YYPIUI\/cooltools-20\">Blackwing 602<\/a>. It hits every note beautifully. It\u2019s well made, feels great in-hand, and looks sharp. It makes a great, dark, line that is easy to erase with the included eraser. And this isn\u2019t one of those small, round, afterthought erasers, no. It\u2019s rectangular, large, and replaceable. Ideal for edits and reworking a score, or anything else I\u2019m working on. As a bonus, the ferrules rectangular shape means the pencil won\u2019t roll off a slanted desk or music stand. Blackwing regularly releases limited editions with different color combinations, but I\u2019m happy to stick with the basic black.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wood pencil with a large, blocky eraser<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31647"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31647"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31647\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31649,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31647\/revisions\/31649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
