Where to find gut oud strings?

Hello friends

I am looking to buy, ideally, a complete set of gut oud strings (of good quality, that will sound good, of course If that isn't possible, I'm looking for reasonable prices for individual gut strings that i can put together to.make.a.set. If -that- isn't possible.. well.. i guess any info or recommendations about where to order not-so-inexpensive gut strings would also be appreciated. I'm also wondering:

-I understand that there are different types of gut strings, ie. Loaded, and other types that were used on lutes, according to the pitch required of the courses (found this info on a string suppliers webpage.. maybe kirshner). And so..
Q. What sub-types of gut string would i order for each of the courses of an 11 stringed Arabic oud (a sukar, 60cm scale length, to be perhaps overly informative


What I've found so far:

Gut strings, $10usd / string, from aquila USA ... For the trebles anyway. So yes.. $110 for a set, assuming the bassier strings cost the same (might be more, probably are)

What i tried (which didn't work):

Emailing rim_essaouira@hotmail.fr , in french and English, which was suggested via this forum -- apparently a supplier of gut strings... No reply there yet.. mind you, the post that re ommended them is a couple/few years old now..

Can anyone help me, offer any good leads or advice? I just love the sound of gut strings, from the few examples I've found in recordings. Also an oud teacher speaks highly of them, who i had a lesson with recently.. he remembers them from his years growing up in the middle East.. tho even he didn't have a supplier, but was working on it

I get that they won't last as long.. i get they might be expensive .. I'm definitely wanting to give it a go anyways. I have a feeling it's the sound and feel I'm looking for

Thank you so much,

Warmly,
