Anton Krutz.
An American string atelier producing soloist-tier instruments across three lines — Artisan, Avant, and AK. The atelier’s combined 300+ years of professional expertise sit behind every instrument.
Rooted in
the concert hall.
The atelier’s own line: “Rooted In The Concert Hall · Embodied In Every Instrument.” The mission set above the door is “Creating the Voice of Strings.”
Three series cover the catalogue: Artisan, Avant, and AK. Each instrument made and finished by hand. The atelier also offers educator support, financing, and repair through dedicated programmes.

Across the range
Three series,
one approach.
The Avant series sits at the principal-orchestral and emerging-soloist tier — bench-built strings ready to deliver from the moment the case opens. The Artisan and AK series sit alongside, each with its own voicing.
The atelier’s craftsmen carry, between them, more than three centuries of combined string-making experience.
