I agree with John.

Maybe try some kind of silk filament strings that are not a total nylon modification? In an instrument with that small of a body you will likely be disappointed with the lack of tone and projection that ball nylon strings would give you. I have tried Ernie Ball 80/20 Silk and Steel and they sounded really good, but they broke on my OF660 and I've not broken any other string in literally years on any gutiar- won't be buying those again. But it does peak my curiosity about the strings below. I've tried them all except the Pearse Folk and all are good- the Thomastik Infeld are exceptional.

John Pearse Folk PJ116 (Nylon rope and flat wound with steel cores)
GHS Silk and Bronze
Thomastik Infeld Plectrums
