Gerle's teacher Géza de Kresz was a pupil of Hubay and Sevcik. Gerle as a child is said to have heard Hubay play the instrument he would own many years later. After a recital with the cellist Piatigorsky the audience was so impressed with the affinity between Gerle and his instrument, the ex Hubay, that several members of the Board of the San Diego Symphony decided to help him acquire it. Originally Gerle did not want accept such an obligation and asked Piatigorsky for guidance, who meant: 'You must not let such a rare and great opportunity to go by, even if you have to rob a bank, you must accept the offer. One way or the other, you will find a way to pay back the loan".
With ownership came curiosity and Mr. Gerle began with the research of the instrument's provenance. He traced the way the ex Hubay went and found out that it formerly had been owned by Paganini. [117]
Unfortunately Mr. Gerle had to part with his instrument - and inseparable companion for over 30 years - due to a shoulder injury, which put an end to his career as a violinist.[59]

Being both a performer and conductor Mr. Gerle has recorded extensively. Besides this he has published 2 violin teaching books:

On the Auer 1690 Strad Gluzman says: 'To play on such an instrument is a great honor for any artist. It has allowed me to bring to physical reality a great deal of my conception of violin sound. When I picked up this violin and the first notes emanated from my bow, I understood my life had changed. I felt that my musical ideas coul flow from then on without barriers.'
