Absolutely necessary for the working percussionist

I’ve used my miller machine on almost every theatre production I’ve done for the last several years. It’s become such a staple tool for us percussionist that now I see percussion books that actually ask for the miller machine specifically. I own both the original triangle machine and the finger cymbal machine and will definitely be adding more to my collection as I need them - absolutely necessary.

Sal, Thank you! And thanks for all your support! Billy

So great that I can't believe someone didn't build this 30 years ago!

Billy's Miller Machine is exactly what pit players have needed forever. I was subbing for a show when I first discovered it and immediately bought one and it's transformed how I can manage triangles, finger cymbals, and more in my pit work. I now own two so I can used them on triangle and finger cymbal at the same time, or stack pit work and have one for two shows. It's simple, brilliant, and 100% useful. And its so smart, I can't believe someone didn't build something like this 30 years ago! Bravo Billy!

This is awesome Bruce, thank you! Billy

The Miller Machine Finger Cymbal Arm is an invaluable tool for any percussionist. The moveable finger cymbal mounting screw enables the user to position any size finger cymbal for an exact striking position to obtain the perfect sound.

Thank you Lee! Have a great clinic at the USARD convention. Billy
