Strings for Shehata oud

Hello
Recently I bought an ebony oud from Shehata.
The oud has an amazing sound just like all the others I played from Shehata (palysander or walnut) but its tuning is from FF to ff.
I use to tune from CC to cc.

Anyway which is the ideal label of strings for an oud like that ?

Thanks in advance

I have tried turkish strings from Aquila but tuned to arabic tuning. I find this gives a nice sound for my ebony shehata.

the best is obviously pyramid lute strings. But I am not sure what would be the best gauges.
