Turkish oud, Arabic tuning, pyramid strings??
I have a Turkish oud (Ali Nisadir), set up in Arabic (cc-C )tuning and I have a set of pyramid strings but will they work?
PVF 0.54/ pVF 0,63/1008/1015/1021/1240
Will that work?

Some of the wounds seem a bit light to me. These strings look like they're calculated for BF#Bead'
.54 and .63 - these are probably ok but the .63 might be a bit light at 58.5cm, .68 might be better.
1008 & 1015 will be quite light for d and A. At 58.5cm, for d 1010 would be more common, or slightly lighter at 10095 or 1109 maybe.
For A, 1116 or 1017 would be typical. 1016 would be the minimum I'd use.
1021 is ok for G but a bit light for F
1240 should be good for C.

Or you tune it to C# and ask everyone to tune higher a bit.
If you really stick to C, follow Brian's advice.

Someone asked a similar question here and I shared the diameters I use for c tuning at 58.5cm: http://www.mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=18867
