Perfect for the pit musician!

A great addition and perfect to have with the finger cymbal machine

Everything's well machined and perfectly engineered

Love that so many pieces are interchangeable. The versatility is amazing!

Great design!

Well built!

This is an uncommon device in our professional backline hire sector however Billy and the team at Miller made this somewhat esoteric (and might I also add fantastic!) device simple and easy to source. We're almost at opposite sides of the planet and it arrived within 2-weeks of initial purchase. Thanks and highly recommended.

Awesome piece of equipment. Allows me to get my triangles at the same relative height under the cymbal using a 10 in triangle. I love my triangle and finger cymbal machines.

Thank you for always having a fast turn around time.

perfect design. lightweight and simple and functional.

Lovely design and works great out of the box!

Ordering and shipping is very efficient and I got exactly what it said I was!

I bought it specifically for musical where I had to play drumset and percussion. Some of the percussion was acoustic but the most of it (timpani, bell tree, mark tree, castanets, etc) were electronic using a midi keyboard and MainStage software. I had a hard time switching channels between the timpani and percussion which included the triangle and I kept missing cues where the triangle was really important and exposed. Long story short, being able to mount the triangle and not have to worry about switching from sticks to a triangle beater ensures that I played the triangle on time (and saved me from crazy looks from the MD 😂). The only issue with the Miller Machine so far is figuring out how far in and out to position the beater in order to play the right dynamic. There were even a few times where I was supposed to play at a piano or mezzo piano level and in trying to not hit it too hard, it wasn’t quiet enough for the beater to contact the triangle. I’m sure I’ll figure that out over time with more use.

Everyone with a triangle needs a Miller machine. It's a cool and useful thing.

The Horizontal Mount is wonderful. Things a great option to mount a triangle and finger cymbal (if I’m not using a machine for the FC). It’s also a great option for a larger triangle.
Looking forward to using it in upcoming gigs.

I needed to play a finger cymbal within a multi instrument set up. I found the perfect solution in this Miller Machine. It is sensitive to the touch so dynamics are easy. The bright red handle makes it easy to see peripherally. I’m very happy to have found this triangle/ finger cymbal trigger.

I recently purchased the finger cymbal machine from Billy Miller and used it along with the triangle machine for “ Sunday in the Park with George”. Highly recommend both machines. Customer service is terrific!

Essential product, fantastic service!

Everything you could hope for! An essential for triangles.

Ding ding!

I needed to mount a triangle and finger cymbal, and the horizontal mount was perfect for this and worked flawlessly!

I have been using the Finger Cymbal Machine in many different situation! It is such a useful instrument in my toolbox! Here are three different scenarios where I have used it.
1. Obviously, it is a must have for any Pit percussion setting. I most recently used it for a local version of Mean Girls. I was hired for the auxiliary book. I also used the triangle machine for this set up.
2. I used it on stage in a concert setting when I was hired to play Tatarian Dances by Elena Roussanova Lucas. The finger cymbal part was easily heard over the orchestra.
3. Finally, I use it when my band performs acoustic gigs. I play congas and always have it set up on my right side. It really adds a lot to this type of setting.

Great extension to the Miller Machine line. Especially useful when playing hand drums and a block or bell is needed. Thanks Billy!

A BIG Help. Just Nice and Great!!!
