The second tuning you mention, with D as the highest note (thinnest string), is standard pitch for Turkish. The first one you mention is a fourth
higher. If you want to use a standard set for that tuning, you will probably want to discard the bottom (thickest) string, and add a pair of very thin
strings, around .019" or 0.45 mm (just guessing). But if your planning to use D.A.E.B.A.E, what's the problem? Just use the standard set.
Have you tried the MusiCaravan strings? http://www.musicaravan.com/strings.html
