Description
Misha Krutz studied bass at the Leningrad conservatory in Russia where he later played in the Kirov Ballet. In 1976 he immigrated to the United States bringing his family to Kansas City where he currently plays bass in the Kansas City Symphony. He also was a professor of Bass at The University of Missouri Kansas City and University of Kansas.
Misha ran a violin shop out of his home where he served both student and professional clientele for ten years, prior to the establishment of K.C.Strings Violin Shop. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge in this area and was instrumental in the forging of the unique Bass, made in the shop.
Anton Krutz was born in St. Petersburg Russia and moved to the States when he was young. He began making violins at age twelve, apprenticing to master luthier Earsel Atchley (the first American to enter a Quartet in an International European competition). He then attended and graduated from the internationally known Violin Making School of America in Salt Lake City, Utah after which he concentrated on the restoration of valuable instruments. Working in different prestigious shops across the country he ended up in the violin shop of Philip Injean, across from Carnegie Hall, and later with the David Gage Bass shop in New York. Anton moved to Kansas City to join his father, Misha, and Partner Rick Williams in opening K.C. Strings.
