This is a very well regarded store that specializes in stringed musical instruments--violin, violas, cellos, basses. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, but it helps to ask for the person who specializes in your instrument. Dalton Potter is the owner and quite knowledgeable about everything (if you are lucky enough to catch him in.) They have an excellent rental shop which provides 100 percent credit of the rent towards the purchase price. You can trade up (either in size or quality) quite easily. They will special order things for you. I was extremely pleased with the service I received when I was looking for a new bow.
The biggest negative is the size of the shop. Even though it is in two different buildings, the space is quite limited and feels extremely crowded. It is not comfortable to be in there when there are more than 3 customers. I feel like I am going to bump into an instrument or knock something off a shelf. I usually call first to ensure it is not to crowded and I avoid it when school starts. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

A good company for used and new musical equipment is Weaver's Violin Shop. They carry a variety of musical instruments, but their area of expertise are violins. Luckily, for parents with kids attending public schools in the area, they rent out musical instruments for your kids to use in music class. You even have the option to buy the instrument at the end of the year at a reduced cost.

Whenever I walk into the Olsson's in Bethesda, I feel like the store is empty. There generally aren't that many people there, but what I mean is more to do with the shelves and the layout of the store. There just seems to be a lot of empty space. Their selection of books is somewhat limited for some reason and the cd section is only about three (long) shelves. They have all of the new books and some of the classics, they just don't have as many as you are going to find at the chains or even at the other Olsson's in the area. Prices are about the same as area stores, although sales are better at the big chains in terms of when new books come out with reduced prices.
