Hey Danielo,
Here's the translation
William Ishac
Making and repairing string instruments
Number 290
Making date 96
Syria ###### next to Alrazi Hospital
I have not heard of him, can't really tell where in Syria he is cause it's dark in the middle.
Regards,
Ibrahim

Thanks Ibrahim !
Never heard of this maker also (I didn't know that the name William was given in Syria?).
I guess the year is 1396 hijra, so it is 36 years old..

Well the name would imply that he's a Christian Syrian.
As for the date, I would lean towards 1996, 15 years old oud only...
the hijri or hijra calender is not commonly used in Syria and I really doubt it was used here...

Hi,
I did not tried yet... It looks a little rough, but at least it seems not to be a tourist oud, but made to be played.. It looked older than 1996 from
its looks ?
