For Decades, the most advanced research into the methods and materials of the great Cremonese masters has been outside of modern-day Cremona. Krentz String Works has brought decades of research back to Cremona to create instruments made by Italian Master Luthiers from the finest materials with our ground-breaking innovations. The result is quite probably the fastest responding, most dynamic instruments available all imbued with the best of what it means to be made in Italy.
