The Krutz Artisan 700 Series violin is a finely crafted instrument designed for advancing students and dedicated amateur players seeking professional-level tone at an accessible price point. Built in collaboration between master luthiers in Beijing and the Krutz workshop in Kansas City, these instruments strike a balance between traditional European craftsmanship and modern setup expertise.

Each Artisan 700 begins with seasoned spruce and maple, partially shaped overseas before being shipped unfinished to Kansas City, where extensive finishing and tonal adjustment are performed. The result is a violin with powerful projection, rich resonance, and balanced clarity across all registers. Features like a hand-graduated body, advanced bass bar, shaded oil varnish, and premium fittings ensure not only superb sound but also refined playability and aesthetic appeal. Perfect for orchestra, chamber music, or solo repertoire, the Artisan 700 offers a reliable and inspiring companion for serious study and performance. Available now at Haggertys Music.
