Hello,
I think the Canto is standard 34,5 cm so every standard d'' string
should work. On traditional instruments this often is a 0.68mmm to
0.72mm plain gut string.
As long as I used to have a 34.5 d'' I always prefered the Pirastro
Eudoxa Violin e'' (its e'' at 32.5, which makes it quite exactly a
d'' on 34.5).
A 0.65 to 0.70 Nylgut might also be a good and rather durable choisse.

I have a 3 chanterelle Weischelbaumer Canto that i currently have
set up with unison D strings and a low G. I would like to
experiment with more of a traditional french sound and replace one
of the D strings with a high d. I am currently using Viola strings
for the chanters. Would a Violin e work as the octave d? I realize
serious shimming at both ends will likely be needed, but i would
like to give it a try. Its not going to be permanent as I have a
'quiet D' and a 'loud D" the quiet string works well behind singers.
thanks
