Violins, violas, cellos, basses and 5-string instruments across the Series, Artisan and Avant ranges. Each instrument receives setup in KRUTZ’s Kansas City workshop before shipment.
Creating the voice
of strings.
KRUTZ has been creating string instruments since 1992. The range serves beginning students, advancing players and professionals, with different construction methods and materials at each level. Setup and tonal adjustment take place in the Kansas City workshop.
Start with the 100 / 200 Series for student instruments and outfits, then compare the step-up models offered for your instrument. Artisan 700 / 750 instruments receive substantial finishing work in Kansas City; Avant instruments are made there by senior luthiers. See each listing for the exact model, size and included accessories.
