I've known Phil for ten years and as a professional cellist, he has done the best adjustment on my Italian made cello I ever had from any luthier. Many colleagues say the same thing. I've seen him magically change an instrument from so-so to something remarkable. He has a shop full of wonderful instruments that range from beginner to concert artist. His own instruments are also represented. I did eventually switch to an Injeian and have enjoyed playing it. His shop in the cultural district is a cultural venue in its own right! Because he makes fine violins from scratch like a great chef.

I have tried two other violin shops in Pittsburgh area, they were both OK but I was not highly impressed. I took a leap of faith with Wexford Violin Shop and I am glad I did. The owner Mike is an accomplished cellist so he knows what is needed from a musician's perspective. He did an amazing job fixing up my old cello. He put in a new bridge, adjusted the sound post and changed out non-functioning tuning pegs with Wittner geared pegs. It plays effortlessly thanks to the wonderful set up. The service fee is very reasonable and is worth every penny I spent. Thanks to Mike's fantastic work, I can now enjoy my cello again. Mike even played a few songs for me on my cello. I don't think I have ever heard my cello sounded that beautiful ever before. I will be bringing my other cello there for a tune up in the near future. Highly recommended this place.
