Any opinions on a nice general purpose model for my daughter? ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | ||

I would suggest looking at a Littman model like this: Link: Littman Classic III stethoscope You can choose a color, and they will personalize it with a name on the plastic tubing. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

EMT for 30 years here. I prefer the Littman Classic II with the single bell head. They can laser engrave the head too! I recently loaned it to my RN wife who misplaced her Littman (unsure of model). She came home and said she wants one like mine.... https://www.mystethoscope.com/...ethoscope-p-121.html Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

it’s like piling on but don’t get anything but a littman. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

You’ve all confirmed my daughters research Littman III it is. Just wanted the opinions that SF is famously great at. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Littman is a good choice. My only advice to to make sure it's got her name engraved as well as a obvious name tag on it......hospitals, especially training institutions are notorious for having nice stethoscopes grow legs and disappear !  | |||

At many of the hospitals were I have staffed they have a gift shop. Sometimes they are run by "volunteers" (retired people that make a big difference). They can help you out a lot. __________________________ Keep your rotor in the green The aircraft in trim Your time over target short Make it count | |||

Littman for sure....they engrave a name free...and like has been said, put a tag on it as well.....quality stethoscopes walk! ________________________ Those who trade liberty for security have neither | |||

Everyone gets a Littman, when it gets lost or stolen they buy another brand. There are lots of good-quality scopes out there. Get a littman because you would be like the college kid that shows up with a PC while everyone else has a Mac. Other Brands of note Prestige,ADC, Mabis and Lumiscope. _________________________ | |||

FWIW, Mrs.BurtonRW, RN, has always preferred the Littman Cardiology IV vs. the Littman III. Better acoustic range, she says. Has been using one since she started her career in critical care. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

The 27" model? I can only use the 29". The 27" is for amateurs.  (I have no idea.) The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Muzzle velocity is higher with the 29 inch, but it's harder to use in close quarters. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||
