MASTER PERFORMANCES

DEPEND ON

MASTER INSTRUMENTS

The Maestro would not choose a 30/- violin toplaya Brahm's Sonata. In tennis too, the finest instrument is needed by the finest players. The DunlopMaxply Racket is a symphony of exquisite technique-har- mony is the keynote of its construction-a result ob- tained only by the vibration of frame and gut being perfectly attuned

There is no frame in the world that will stand up to such high tension; there is no frame that can be strung so often.
