My pedal arrived the other day. I am delighted - it is exactly what I wanted and the fact
that it has the LED lighting for a low-light environment is an added bonus. EXCELLENT!
Thank you for manufacturing such a useful product.

The page turner works great! I use it for music at church and just step on the pedal to
page through while I play my guitar. It works flawlessly. (With projected scores), no
more music stands and endless numbers of sheets of music.

This foot pedal is exactly what I've been needing now for about 3 years. I am a
keyboardist in the US Army Band field and I use a laptop instead of printed sheet music.
I love my laptop, but it was always a little inconvenient to turn the pages. Your pedal is
the perfect design for my needs. It seems well built and durable, which is a must due to
our performance environments. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and this climate
will definitely put this pedal to test. So far it seems to be doing well.

My name is Nicholas Kitchen. I have played violin professionally since I was a small child
and I am now founder and first violinist of the Borromeo String Quartet and Violin and
Chamber Music Faculty at the New England Conservatory of Music.
I have struggled for a long time with how to use the full score of a piece in rehearsal. It
is so basically logical to work on the intricate rich music seeing all of the parts as they
have been written by the composer. How could we even imagine that just seeing one
line of an interwoven score makes any sense as mode of working. But alas, that is what
is always the case with string quartet playing, or any other ensemble work. We read off
a single line and use our ears to try to assemble the total sound. The job of turning
pages of the score makes it impossible to even imagine using the score as one's basic music.

Well, that has now changed for me, thanks to Footime.
I saw some pianists use PDF scores with pedals for turning, and I searched on the
Internet trying to see what they would have been using. Instead I found the Footime
pedal, and I was so impressed to see the thinking behind it, and the attention to making
the design as simple and attractive as possible.
I ordered it, and with a little tinkering with how to frame PDF's for optimum readability,
and with a little pedal practice, I now use the Footime stand and pedal in nearly all
rehearsals, which is often 4 hours every day. I am actually totally thrilled. It is a
profoundly different experience to rehearse off the score with ease. Already I feel I have
had countless insights which would have come much more slowly with more limited
access to the score. I use a Wacom sketch tablet to make markings, so really there is
nothing missing from what I would normally need from rehearsing a piece.
On December 3, 2007, I use the Footime for the first time in a public concert in NEC's
Jordan Hall playing the Reger Clarinet Quintet with Richard Stotzman.
I am truly grateful to the inventors of this marvelous device!

I am a worship leader for a Christian church. Like many churches we use PowerPoint to
project the words to the songs for the congregation to read. I use the computer as a
monitor for myself and the worship team but, because I play an instrument, someone
else must advance the next slide for me. The problem comes when that person doesn't
keep up or if I want to repeat a verse of a song on the fly or go back to a chorus. They
get confused, I get frustrated and the audience gets lost.
The Bili page turner is the answer. It simply gives me complete control of forward and
reverse in PowerPoint on a foot switch. It's as simple as plug into the USB port on your
computer and now I can lead the congregation and play my instrument without missing a beat.
It has been the perfect answer for me by giving me the freedom to be spontaneous without losing the words.
Thank you for creating such a useful tool for musicians.

Feedback time for the FOOTIME page turner. Just got it today--Absolutely fabulous!!!!--I
have wanted and dreamt of something like this for YEARS...I don't have to memorize all
my performance pieces anymore, as I am a super fast reader. The final glitch in the
whole reading process at gigs and concerts is now solved--Thanks to my new Footime
footswitch. I can also easily carry my pdf and tefview repertoire of 15000 pieces--all in
my new "music stand come laptop". Terrific for me professionally! Thanks a lot, to all of
you at Bili Inc.

This product has made my life so much easier when I am conducting or performing. I am
a Mac user and it worked as plug-n-play in my new MacBook Air. Awesome!
- Jason Lee Bruns, Studio Musician, Studio City, California
I used the USB foot switch to turn pages on our Easter musical for rehearsal and it
performed flawlessly! I wish I had one of these 20 years ago. Thanks for a product that
makes life easier for us musicians who use computer based scores. I find it's also great
for reading Adobe documents, Mobipocket books and other large files.
- Doug Nasluchacz, Riverside, California

It's absolutely fantastic and so easy to use. I have been telling all my musician friends
about it. It is definitely the hardware of the future.
- Ron Borelli, San Francisco, California

The page turner is working great for me. I play guitar for a large church and this enables
me to easily turn pages without having to stop playing. I use a Mac Book Pro. I scan the
music into PDF and use Adobe Acrobat to display the files in full-page format.
- Bill Faulkner, Chattanooga, Tennessee

I'm visually impaired, and had been printing out huge text that I could see while playing
piano in church. I used 68 pt font, and could barely fit one song verse on an 8.5x11
paper. But now, thanks to a computer, a huge monitor, and my Footime page turner, I
no longer have to use up all that printer ink, and I don't have to turn pages! I type my
songs in Microsoft Word, with the page in landscape format. Since I write music with
Sibelius notation software, and can format huge music in landscape, I convert the
Sibelius file to a graphic and import it to the Word file. I end up with text and music on a
21" monitor (which I have mounted on a swivel arm to my Clavinova) as big as I please.
Thanks to the Footime, my fingers never have to leave the piano keys.
The Footime is very reliable; it works every time. The buttons are easy to feel through
shoes, and the unit stays where I put it...
This product is well-worth the few bucks! It simply does one thing, and does it reliably.
Don't hesitate, just buy it!
- Joseph DeRosa, Sparks, Nevada

I just want to send you an e-mail to say thanks for such a fast delivery and wonderful
product. I'm very impressed with the page turner - it does the job perfectly with zero
fuss. You were right when you said it was plug and play!
- Paul Bielatowicz,
UK guitarist of The Carl Palmer Band and Neal Morse's band (from Spock's Beard)
