I remember meeting Mr. Gailes very fondly when I picked up my first violin in 2001 as a plucky ten-year-old. When I had to upgrade to a full-size in 2004, he merrily suggested a brand-new Hemler. A few years later, we bought it and it's aged gracefully. It moved with me to a whole other country, was my guide in a concerto competition and helped me learn III-V positions as a nervous 13-year-old. 14 years later that violin has been retired (I upgraded to an advanced model in 10th grade and play for leisure), but I'll never for... read more

Wonderful staff! Very patient and experienced. Some 8 years ago when it came time to move from a rental viola to a permanent one, they were incredibly patient and thorough with my son and I. I am now on child number two and it’s the same pleasant service my daughter and I experienced when we purchased her viola a few weeks ago.

Gaile's Violin Shop is so supportive of the orchestra programs in schools! As an orchestra teacher for Prince George's County, I've felt very lucky to have such a wonderful violin store near by. My orchestra program has received two donated cellos, quite a few donated cases, and I don't even know how many sound posts have been reset on the school instruments! I can't say enough how much I appreciate this store!!

We absolutely LOVE Gailes! The staff are extremely knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and friendly. We took our five year old for her first violin and had a fantastic experience. They pulled five violins in her size and we went into a private room where we were able to listen to all of them be played and where she got to hold them and play herself. As kids often do, she hit a growth spurt and outgrew her 1/16 sized violin and we had to move up to the 1/8 and, again, it was the same experience. We liken it to the violin equivalent... read more
