Favorite Stethoscopes

What are your favorite stethoscopes to be examined with or use on a patient? I love the Littmann Cardiology 3 or IV because they are bulky/heavy, and the non-chill rim is a little ticklish, instead of being freezing cold on the skin.

Sorry if this is a repost.

I'm fascinated by vintage stethoscopes ...... Erka Supraphone but I also really like Rappaport

Generally I agree with @cuoreitaliano! I‘d like to expand the „list“ with the Littmen and - my new personal favourite - the KaWe Planet. Just the really havy and industrial designed chest piece makes my heart pounding hardly.

I'm not hung up on brands but I definitely agree that heavy chestpieces and thick tubes are the way to go, in terms of look and feel - both for the doctor and patient.

A good topic for discussion. Personally, I don’t get fixated on brand names, but in my collection, I would have at least one stethoscope with good acoustic properties, that is, a Littmann. As for other stethoscopes, I would select them based on their appearance. My collection would include at least one Rappaport, one Supraphon, one Multiphon, and one Welch-Allyn Harvey.
