Which strings for Turkish Woman's size oud (Arabic tuning)?

I need some advice. I have a woman's size Turkish oud (Haluk). I want to tune it Arabic style. When I do so with the current set of strings, they become too loose. I would like to replace then. What strings should I use to get Arabic tuning on this oud (keeping in mind its smaller as well)?

My son will be using this to learn.

Thanks,

Hi Ali,

I currently use D'Addarrio strings on my arabic oud in CFAdgc tuning ... string length is 58.5cm ... works nice.

BTW ... this string set is designed for Turkish ouds, so I would expect, you would be happy with them.
