Karl Spengler was local musician living on Nantucket and was the violinist in the Nantucket String Quartet. He was played by Robert Martin Robinson.
Bio[]
When it became clear that Winston Catlow could no longer participate in the Nantucket String Quartet, Spengler appears to be the primary force in ousting him. Spengler also seemed to have a long standing contentious relationship with Catlow. With Catlow gone, Spengler seemingly took on a leadership role in auditioning new members (The Gift (Part 2)).
When their first performance with Helen as cellist was disrupted by Catlow, Spangler was so angry that he disbanded the Nantucket String Quartet (The Gift (Part 2)).
According to Helen, when the Nantucket String Quartet, young Johnny was grounded (The Gift (Part 2)).
