Moon Guitar is one of the unique traditional musical instruments in Taiwan. It used to be seen everywhere, but now it has gradually declined because it can not keep up with the changes of the times. We designed a new generation of Moon Guitar, focusing on electronics, integration and strengthening. The design of Moon Guitar enables it to break through many old limitations, not only has more functions to follow the trend, but also has more stage opportunities to be seen. For the strengthening part, we replaced the strings with pressure-sensing silicone to further reduce the difficulty of getting started and increase the versatility. Integrating the differences between Eastern and Western rhythms is a major focus of this design. While maintaining the traditional charm, it can also cooperate with modern musical instruments to compose more new music belonging to Taiwan. By sliding and touching the edge of the guitar body and the lights will light up. The action of the stage effect can be switched to make it more interesting.
