  1. Those colored keys are really neat. I like both of those typewriters and the small type face on the Studio 44 looks nice. I have several Olivetti machines on my wish list. So far I do not have any in my collection.

    1. Usually here in Italy you can get one for about 20-40 euros, sometimes with the decimal tabulator, sometimes even with the large carriage... but they're really heavy :-D

  3. Coloured keys are always cool, but pretty rare. Congratultaions on joining the 44 club! I think the 32 has a lighter, shorter touch than the 44.

  4. The 44 is a 32 on steroids. I love both models, and I'm always surprised at how nimble the 44 feels, despite its size. It's deceptive: not a chug-chug-chug feeling like typing on a standard-size machine at all.

    And those colored keys -- swoooon.

  5. My thanks goes to tr0x that bought this typewriter for me: I hope it will inspire me for my very fist short novel and for all the next that will come :-)

    1. I hope you'll write a lot of words with it!
