D'Addario makes flatwound guitar strings that might just fit as I don't think they are silk wrapped. I think they make short-scale flatwound bass strings too.

I fig I can buy the bass strings but Im wondering about finding flats for the octaves
Yes. Reread my previous post. D'Addario makes Chromes for guitar. They might be a viable option for the octave strings. You should contact them and see if they have enough of a wind to fit it. And if they do, JustStrings sells singles: D'Addario Electric Chromes Guitar Single Strings
