hi Stringerz
I have not heard of such a maker, though I have been in the business for decades
I have got though some speculation:
wulad in arabic= sons
Muris is how many Egyptians would write Maurice
I guess it could be something to do with the famous maker Maurice and his sons!!

As much as we know, Maurice Shahatah of Cairo has only one son, Mario, who's still a youngster, so I'd exclude this option as well.

Yours indeed

Maurice is a great maker by all means. I myself is a pro michael moussa udi still, I have all the respect and appreciation to Mastero Maurice the son of the legend Farouk Shehata. He produces a wide range of ouds , I will go for the top range which could be hefty priced but still well worthy
GOOD LUCK
