I have used many types of cello strings. I have not used Patrick. However there are some very fine strings on ebay that I have found to be excellent. Huayin cello strings at 21.57 a set,Palatino at 15.99 a set,and for a more advanced player D'Addario at 69.75 a set. As you know you can pay over 200.00 for a set of strings. Or you can pay as little as 10.00. The ones I listed are ones I have had great success with. Don't forget to get the right size string for the cello.4/4
1/2 ect.4/4 strings work on 3/4 cellos. Good luck. Cello Power!
