On May 16, NAMM‘s Dan Del Fiorentino shared the following sad news:

Mudge Miller’s family informed us that Mudge passed away yesterday.  He was 86 years old.

Mudge was a veteran of the Chicago Musical Instrument Company and had expressed great satisfaction in working under Mr. M.H. Berlin, the president of CMI for many years. Mr. Berlin was a mentor to so many in the industry and a well-respected leader. Mudge was appreciative for his CMI experiences and to Mr. Berlin, who gave Mudge his start in the industry. He served as a consultant to Ziggy Kanstul for many years working on instrument design and development. His projects included working with Doc Severinsen and Byron Autry on their quest to design, create and promote their own line of trumpets.
