La bella turkish tuning tension?

Hello

I need to know the tension of the La Bella strings for turkish tuning.
I couldn't find the info and sent them an email and they didn't answered.

Thanks a lot!

Luan,

I was told by the late Haig Manookian that a "standard" set of strings, tuned EABEAD on a Turkish style oud, exerts about 135lbs of pull on the bridge. This was in one of his master classes some years ago. OU80 is the LaBella standard for a Turkish oud.
