As mentioned this is not easy to print. You might consider cutting the model into two pieces. From the shown orientation, I would do a planar cut just below the top surface, trying to capture those "screws" (I don't know what they're called, they tighten the strings) in the top cut and then flip the bottom section over so the spherical dome is printed like an upside down bowl. This should only require supports for the large piece at the top of the neck. In Bambu Studio (possibly OrcaSlicer) you can also add connector pieces for proper alignment when doing cuts too, but they may he unnecessary when gluing it back together.
Also for future reference, when you see models that only show 3D renderings and no actual finished print, you know you're in for some trouble. I try to avoid these at all costs.
Word of the day: Tuning knobs. Or machine head when referring to the entire assembly, worm gear and all.
