Playing music has never been this fun, easy and uplifting.
Created and lovingly crafted so that anyone can enjoy playing the guitar,
the Arcana Strum is designed to be extremely simple to learn and easy to play for anyone!
Music is created by many musical instruments, but unfortunately, not everyone can play and enjoy them.
The Arcana Strum is designed to change that. We created an instrument that is accessible, easy to learn and fun to play.
It’s the perfect solution, providing a full musical experience, with chords, tunes, riffs and scales, so that anyone
can enjoy the uplifting rapture of playing music.
The Arcana Strum was designed with you in mind, created to be adaptive and accessible for practically anyone,
including those with various types of physical and cognitive abilities. In addition to its embedded features,
the Arcana Strum also has a set of accessories that can customize and personalize the playing experience further,
making it perfect for people between the ages of 3 – 99.
We have been designing and perfecting the Arcana Strum for the last 5 years, and are excited to finally present it to you!
The Arcana Strum is very straightforward, easy and fully accessible. Everyone can learn to play the instrument,
regardless of their age, cognitive and physical abilities. We’ve thought of every detail.
Just start playing – and feel the difference.
The Arcana Strum can be played in many different ways. During the development stage of the instrument,
we carefully studied and considered your needs in order to optimize your playing experience.
For instance, several ideas came from observing how people operate motorized wheelchairs, and we incorporated some of these ideas in the accessories we developed. By doing so, we provide solutions for a wide range of needs and abilities, both physical and cognitive.

“I can anticipate the benefit that this equipment will have with a variety of other children – similarly with
physical disabilities or a variety of different diagnoses – a larger group project with this equipment would
be very much welcomed.”

“…The ARCANA musical program is a new musical environment that enables our students to try and play musical instruments adapted to their disability, with an emphasis upon independence, responsibility, their abilities and success.
Principle, “On” Public School
The story of Arcana began in 2015. Its origin was a young girl who faced difficulty to play musical instruments and wanted to feel equal and included.
Our team of musicians, engineers and designers gathered together and founded Arcana to support her as well as millions of other people around the world who confront similar difficulties.
