“I really enjoy playing Philip’s wonderful cello. After trying other cellos since, I can honestly say there hasn’t been one I like nearly as much. I keep discovering new things that I love about the cello and I anticipate I will continue to do so as long as I play! I have recommended Philip to many, many people - students and teachers alike.”

— Dylan K., Student, Indiana University Jacobs School of Music

“I absolutely love the rich sound and magnificent projection of my Philip Soltis cello. Working with Philip is also such an enjoyable experience.”

— Dr. David Carter, Professor of Music, St. Olaf College

“As his daughter, I am biased. But play one of his instruments for yourself: you will feel the incredible ease of shifting and string crossings, and revel in the warm, resonant sounds that characterize his instruments. In addition to being a superb luthier, Phil is a kind, humble, and honest human being. His integrity and sense of humor will ensure that you also enjoy the process of finding your forever instrument.”

— Dr. Laura Emiko Soltis, Violinist
