[0032] This application discloses an electric wind instrument, including a housing 100. A strumming area 200 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 100, allowing the user to perform strumming operations. The strumming area 200 includes multiple strings 210, which are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the outer surface of the housing 100. A circuit board 300 is disposed inside the housing 100, and all the strings 210 are connected to the circuit board 300. Different sounds are produced by triggering different strings 210.

[0033] In this embodiment, multiple strings 210 are provided on the housing 100 and are all connected to the circuit board 300. The multiple strings 210 form a strumming area 200, which can be used for single-note playing or strumming (straightening can be done from top to bottom or from bottom to top, in which case different arpeggios will appear depending on the key and chord degree). The advantages are significant. Strumming can be used for singing and playing, as well as as a wonderful ending, which greatly adds to the richness of the music. With the accompaniment function of the electronic wind instrument, strumming with the thumb at the end can enhance the sense of ending. In addition, it can also be set to play guitar and sing. In the guitar strumming mode, plucking the strings produces different notes depending on the finger strokes, enriching the playing experience. Multiple strings 210 are spaced apart along the width of the outer surface of the casing 100, making it easy for users to pluck the trigger strings 210 when playing with the electronic wind instrument. Furthermore, the guitar strumming mode on the electronic wind instrument makes it more compact and portable than a regular guitar, convenient for both outdoor performances and indoor practice. The electronic wind instrument can also connect to various audio devices for easy recording and playback, facilitating self-evaluation and sharing. In terms of tone, the electronic wind instrument offers a rich selection of tones, capable of simulating the sounds of various instruments to meet the needs of different musical styles. The addition of strumming functionality greatly enhances the playability of the electronic wind instrument, transforming it from a simple instrument to one that can play and accompany; it can be used for singing and playing instruments, or to accompany others, enriching the musical expression.

[0034] In one alternative embodiment, the string 210 is configured as a touch-sensitive string extending along the length of the housing 100. The touch-sensitive string is connected to the circuit board 300 to transmit touch signals. Specifically, the touch-sensitive string and the circuit board 300 can be connected via wires or pins.

[0035] In this embodiment, by setting the extension direction of the touch-sensitive string to be consistent with the length direction of the housing 100, it is convenient for the user to perform a sweeping motion with their fingers when adopting a playing posture.

[0036] In an alternative implementation, the string 210 may also be configured as a push-button string, which is connected to the circuit board 300 to produce a preset tone.

[0037] In one alternative embodiment, the string 210 is configured to have six strings, which are evenly spaced apart, or the interval between any two adjacent strings 210 gradually increases or decreases in the width direction of the housing 100.

[0038] In this embodiment, the six strings 210 are designed to resemble guitar strings, thus approximating all the playing effects that a guitar can have. Optionally, the multiple strings 210 are evenly spaced, or the interval between each pair of adjacent strings 210 gradually increases or decreases in the width direction of the housing 100, which makes it easier for the user's fingers to trigger the designated strings 210 and facilitates the smooth execution of strumming actions.

[0039] In one alternative implementation, the widths of the six sequentially arranged strings 210 increase or decrease sequentially to match the thickness of guitar strings, making it easier for users to distinguish the different notes represented by the strings 210 of different thicknesses. Alternatively, the first and last two strings of the six sequentially arranged strings 210 may have different thicknesses, while the thickness of the remaining four strings is not required. This provides a positioning basis for the fingers and makes it easier for the user to distinguish them.

[0040] In one optional embodiment, the housing 100 includes an upper surface 110, a lower surface 120, and a mouthpiece 130. The mouthpiece 130 is mounted at one end of the housing 100. The upper surface 110 and the lower surface 120 are connected by a side transition. The upper surface 110 is provided with a note key area 111. The strumming area 200 is located on the side of the note key area 111 away from the mouthpiece 130. This position allows the user to easily trigger the corresponding note key or chord when using the string 210 on the strumming area 200.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the upper surface 110 is also provided with a technique key 112 and a semitone key 113; all note keys in the note key area 111, all technique keys 112 and semitone keys 113 on the upper surface 110 can be preset as specified chords; the housing 100 is also provided with a panel control area, which is connected to the circuit board 300. Through the panel control area, one or more note keys, technique keys 112, and semitone keys 113 can be set as specified chords. When playing guitar mode with an electric wind instrument, triggering the corresponding chord can enhance the expressiveness of the melody, add color to the music, and make it richer; optionally, the upper surface 110 is also provided with a whole tone key, which can also be set as specified chords through the panel control area.

[0042] In one optional implementation, the note key area 111 includes multiple note keys, and each note key has a function key 114 on one side; the function keys 114 are all connected to the circuit board 300 and can all be set to a specific chord; through optimized design, adding separate function keys 114 next to the note keys as chord keys simplifies and facilitates the performer's playing process, while also avoiding the complex operation of frequently setting the corresponding note keys, technique keys 112, and semitone keys 113 as chords.

[0043] In one optional embodiment, the note key is circular, and the function key 114 is crescent-shaped and arranged around the outside of the note key, with the function key 114 located on one side of the note key in the width direction of the upper surface 110. By coordinating the circular note key and the crescent-shaped function key 114, the space occupied by the note key and the function key 114 on the housing 100 can be reduced. At the same time, by placing the function key 114 on one side of the note key along the width direction of the upper surface 110, the length of the electronic wind instrument itself can be increased, and the function key 114 can be accommodated and installed using the width space of the upper surface 110 of the electronic wind instrument, which is beneficial to ensuring the miniaturization of the embodiment of this application.

[0044] In one alternative implementation, in addition to function key 114 being set to chords, other note keys, technique keys 112, and semitone keys 113 can change the chord nature in guitar mode. For example, pressing other note keys can change a Dm chord to a D chord and an Am chord to an A chord.

[0045] In one alternative embodiment, two adjacent side keys 115 are provided on the housing 100, one of which is configured as a tone-changing key; the other of the two side keys 115 is configured as a pitch-changing key.

[0046] In this embodiment, the corresponding side key 115 can be pre-set to change timbre or pitch instantly via the panel control area, and the corresponding pitch or timbre can be stored in advance. During the performance, the corresponding side key 115 can be directly triggered to quickly retrieve the corresponding timbre or pitch, which greatly improves the performer's performance experience.

[0047] In one optional embodiment, the wind instrument further includes an accompaniment module, and an accompaniment switch is provided on the outer side of the housing 100; during performance, the preset accompaniment tone can be played by turning on the accompaniment switch, which can further enrich the performance effect of the embodiments of this application.
