Maybe your quills are Black Russian squirrel hair, Marie? I've never felt the need of a brush like that; if for some reason I want a huge puddle, or to cover a huge area quickly, I prefer a (natural) sponge. It's much more versatile, and a lot cheaper, too.
I do have a 2" goat hair wash brush, though; hardly ever use it, but it's nice to have on occasion. On the other hand, I love my #20 da Vinci (sable) flat brush! I seem to use it mostly to apply clear water before applying color, or for negative glazing, but it's a great brush. |

Here's website info:
Cheap Joe’s Tsunami watercolor paintbrushes are the brushes to get if you're looking to move some color, soak up some water, and create big, bold, broad, sloppy washes then feast your peepers on these! Our own Cheap Joes TSUNAMI brushes can pick up water or color like no other brush around. If you are into a super soft feel, with maximum fluidity, this is the end of your search. Tsunami brushes are made from squirrel hair, which gives them their soft feel and absorbency. If you love the way a soft brush feels when you paint, add a Tsunami to your collection of art supplies and see what so many other artists have fallen in love with. |

It's a lot more coarse and springy than my squirrel quills. Is it a different kind of squirrel? |

I have had one of the large CJAS Tsunami brushes for several years, and I have been very happy with it, but I have never been able to figure out exactly what it's made of. The new catalog, which arrived yesterday, doesn't say.
Anybody know what kind of hair is in the brush? |
