"Sanxian" (three-stringed Chinese lute) comes in many types, among which the most suitable to play folk music is the large "sanxian". With a fretless fingerboard, one can only rely on the muscle memories from the fingers and ears to control the pitch when playing this traditional Chinese musical instrument.
