Nice videos thanks for posting them.
Maltese cylinder shells are my favorite type of shell. I like the way the big multi break shells are normally fired one by one; such a contrast to the usual 'Chinese carpet bombing' seen in most displays.

I could not agree more!

Loving the daytime show too. I have studio monitoring here to play that through and the noise is incredible, lovely recording of the low frequency reports. Nice and deep. I love the timing of the multiple break and multiple salute shells.

Great stuff Malteser,

We always love seeing the Maltese rapid fire Beraq shells = class, I love the way they briefly light up the clouds against the back drop of darkness,+ the playing of a track by symphonic metal group `Nightwish`(one of my favourite bands) in the 2nd pyromusical video (first 3.22 mins or so) was inspired = exactly what I would do.

Maltese fireworks are the best in the world period.

It has been discussed many times before; the level achieved by their cyl shells is unique in the world.
I'm also amazed that the round shells can rival the japonese ones, all learned by these wonderfull people in like 10-15 years.

This is all given by free work, many "firework schools" competing + secrets.

It was a tradition at most Regatta displays here in the UK to use a sequence of repeating cylinder shells 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The crowd used to count the bursts and the boats on the river would sound their horns.

These were traditional Maltese made by Charlie Briffa - no bottom maroon.

One year, the 6 fuse caught from the 5's muzzle flash and the crowd counted up to nine.

We did have a problem when the recoil from the longer cylinders (fired from metal mortars buried half length) drove the mortar further into the ground and after needing to dig down a metre or so to recover, we took to placing planks at the bottom of the trench.

Sadly, there are few regatta displays left.
