Annoying rotation of that screech would stop me buying or using it, also toooooo slow for me, a bit boring guys sorry.

But sounds loud and not a bad spread, also I liked the twinkle & double ending.

cut it down to 45sec & extract that whistle, then come back and see me

I must agree, when I saw 70 something shots I was expecting something around the 1 minute mark at most

(I quite like the whistle/screech though )

Fair comments there.

We agree that if it was a lot faster it would be a lot better; however looking across our current range we decided we needed some longer duration barrages.

The vast majority of our barrages are quick and crazy - Awaken, Atomic Tornado, Devils Dungeon, Ultimate Devastation (most of the time) – we are often asked by customers for longer lasting barrages.

Regarding the screeching, we have found it’s very much a marmite thing – you either love it or hate it. Again many customers ask for very noisy fireworks and who are we to argue.

Agree with most the above - imho, if i want whistles/screech, i personally prefer to buy a dedicated cake so i can put it in where i want it.

But i don't mind the duration to be honest, on its own i agree its a tad tedious but i can see a use for it - it would need to be fired with some quicker cakes - it would work well having it as a base foundation of solid loud breaks, with some quicker effects fired in front of it.

Like having a base line in a song and then a quick beat over the top. (where did that analogy come from lol)

Yeah it'd be ok with a few rockets to punctuate it

Need to see more dedicated effects cakes on the market, maybe some nice silver Kamuro cakes, ring cakes?, z-fire rainbow comet cakes, x-ette cakes etc

I like it and think it will be very popular with the general public...most of which are probably looking for a longer duration to get better perceived value for money.

I, like all of us on UKFR, love the excitement factor that a fast pacy firework brings but, as previously mentioned, I do like to build the pace up as I go along in the display so it would fit in nicely. And since there is always more than one on the go at any given time the sky would never be empty. And I quite like the screeching, as long as it isn't in every firework it's fine with me. No one in my audience has ever criticised whistles either.
Any ideas on the likely price point for this piece?

I hate Marmite...

I like all in one SIB's like Epic from BlackCat, something you can just light and enjoy by it's self & don't need to top-it-up with other cakes. I personally think long duration-rotations will only stop the buzz your trying to give the audience and they'll start having a chat & loose interest.

Come on guys, you can & have done better
