oud string gauges

Can anybody please tell me the gauge of a low C string for Arabic tuning? The LaBella set does not appear to come with a low C. Trying to figure out how to order one separately.
Thanks.

Hi there

You an some times use a classical guitar string gauge approx .039-.042. Daddarios from Brian at Oud Strings are a good start.

best wishes
