Kansas City Music

In the days of silent movies, people enjoyed going to the theater to watch the movie and listen to the music on how the music expressed the actors’ emotions and also helped tell the story of what was to come next. Today’s movies are not any different.  

Imagine sitting in the theater and watching with no music playing in the background, and here comes this huge 20 foot great white shark. No suspense, no anticipation, nothing. Music still plays a huge part in the expression of movies and how the actors react to what is going on. How else would we be able to know that some evil villain is coming and the dumb blonde is running right into his path? Music, and most of the music is played using classical instruments; violins, organs, and cellos to name some.  

Having a great instrument for those musicians to play is just as important as finding the right actor to play the hero or villain.  To find the right place is not as far as you think.  

Located in Merriam Kansas, KC Strings is an internationally recognized as one of the leading instrument work shops in the United States. Headed by Master Luthier Anton Krutz, magic is made with every sting instrument that is created in their workshop.  

Mr. Anton Krutz was born in Russia to a family that had a passion for music. It seemed as second nature and the correct path to take to become the artist and create these beautiful instruments that his family has loved to listen to.  

Some of his instruments are used by professional musicians in the Kansas City Orchestra, as well as many others.  

Mr. Anton Krutz has employees in the work shop, yet has never needed to put an advertisement in any paper requesting people with their specific talents. They have found him, and wanted to help create the magic in every one of an Anton Krutz instrument.  

If you are in the neighborhood and want to see fine art, take a look around KC Strings, and see the instruments that music is created from.
