90 to 135

Beater angle adjusts from 90 degrees to 135 degrees.

90° is great for a more focused sound - ideal for pit work.

135° gives you a nice spread of overtones - great for orchestral, and contemporary settings.

Side to Side

The solid-body brass beater slides, side to side, to find the optimal position for your particular setup.

Most helpful when the Machine is set to 135 degrees.

New Suspension Mount

"I really like this update.

There’s a safety loop just in case you have a failure mid-show and the increased stability of the hang lets your triangle stay still for manual and fast playing.

Solid improvements on an already great product."

"Damn Smart"

Just got the new machine. Thanks for incorporating the beater change I had in the back of my head, and the tilt function is damn smart.

None of the shows I'm doing this season call for a machine (Wicked and Beautiful) but I'm super glad to have it in my hands!

"As good as the original Triangle Machine was, the Triangle Machine Plus is even better.

This is a 'must have' not only from a Musical Theater perspective, but also a Symphonic perspective."

The best percussion music set I have bought.

A very helpful add on and tool to use with my bongos and conga set.

Love it!

We are using it for our school's musical and I wish I purchased one years ago. Great tool for the small space.

Love this! Thank you Ryan! Billy

Triangle Machine Plus

This is my third Miller Machine and I'm so impressed with all of the improvements: the 90°-135° tilt, safety cable, sliding beater position, build quality, etc. I didn't think the original Miller Machines were in need of improvement because they were already excellent...but, wow, you're probably going to need one of these ASAP. My first machine went on the North American tour of Hairspray (226 performances) and I never had a single problem with it, I never had to change the plastic ties! I've used it and the finger cymbal machine hundreds of times - they just make life as a percussionist so much more convenient and consistent - perfect tone every time.

New Machine & Beaters for Nat’l Tour

Sal here, writing in from the current Addams Family National Tour.

I decided to upgrade to the new Horizontal Mount and Machine Plus body. Until Billy comes up with something else, I think this is the apex of Miller Machines. Not that there’s anything wrong with the previous models. This is my third machine now, and I will still be using the others.

For this gig, I needed the flexibility that the horizontal mount provided — giving the potential to hang two triangles, a finger cymbal, and hold beaters. That paired with the Machine Plus body makes this a killer combo and a must have for any professional.

I’ve also been experimenting with the new beaters. I really love the sounds I’ve been getting out of them so far. They make my Black Swamp triangle sing with beautiful overtones, and there’s enough variety in the set to cover many different situations. Definitely grab some of these!

Thank you Sal!!! Have a great time on tour! Billy
