For 30 years, Luthier Anton Krutz and his team of craftsmen have been building something rare: instruments with a voice. Made in Kansas City with over 300 combined years of professional expertise, KRUTZ violins, violas, cellos, basses, and fretted instruments carry a sound that has filled concert halls from Disney Hall in Los Angeles to Bolshoi Hall in Moscow.

Anton began as a young artist, pursuing the acoustics of string instruments with relentless curiosity. Decades of refinement in wood selection, construction and varnish have produced instruments defined by richness, power, and expressive versatility. KRUTZ is now the only shop in the world building professional-level orchestral instruments at this standard entirely under one roof, in the American Midwest.

That commitment doesn't stop at the professional tier. KRUTZ offers a full line of instruments for students and advancing players, because every player deserves a voice worth playing through. We believe a player is a co-creator, someone who uses an instrument to express the essence of who they are. Every instrument we build, at every level, is made to honor that. That dedication has one name: unparalleled craftsmanship.
