details:

The VEME® is a powerful musical percussion instrument created in 2014 as a result of a collaboration between the Arts et Métiers school of engineering and the Metz National Orchestra. At the heart of the instrument is steel, which forms its structure and is the source of the sound produced. The whole instrument consists of a thin metal plate and an acoustic resonator.
