TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of musical instruments, in particular to a modular stringless guitar. BACKGROUND

[0003] As an innovative form of electronic musical instruments, stringless guitars abandon the physical strings required by traditional guitars and instead use advanced sensing technology and electronic devices to simulate or generate musical sounds. Stringless guitars not only retain the appearance and part of the operation mode of traditional guitars, but also achieve accurate detection of the position and action of the performer's fingers through the integration of touch sensors or other electronic sensors. This innovation enables performers to trigger different notes through finger operations like playing a traditional guitar, while also utilizing electronic technology to create rich sound effects and musical styles. However, existing stringless guitars still have certain limitations in terms of portability, performance stability, multifunctionality, and tone adjustment convenience.

[0004] Firstly, due to the one-piece design of stringless guitars, the handle and the case are not detachable, resulting in a large volume of the instrument when carrying and storing, which is not convenient for carrying. Secondly, traditional stringless guitars lack diversified playing methods and are difficult to adjust the tone and timbre conveniently during performance to adapt to different musical styles and occasions, thereby limiting the creative freedom of performers. Finally, the tuning device is usually set on the case, which is easy to be affected by accidental touch and difficult to be quickly adjusted during performance.
