Steth Types and Color of Tubing

I love seeing the old style steth with double tubing and a long bell/cone shaped chestpiece - also lab colored tubing on a stethoscope. Anyone else like these styles and colors?

I like my navy blue and black ones.

Purple and red look great on females though! 😃

I love old style rubber tube Stethoscopes. Perferred color: Red. Go and have a look on my Albums here, and you'll see what I mean :-)

I like black or dark blue ones, not electronic and not double or too long tube. I like red only in some sort of photography or something, not when used. If it's used in some picture a red stethoscope looks very sexy and artistic to me.

Blue old style scope, and black littmann

I've also thought that double-tube steths are more erotic than single-tube ones.

The old style amber latex tubing is nice, too in either double or Y-configuration. I think at one point this material was also available in brown but it was much less common than black or amber.

I like classic steth with red tubing collor (like you Redstethguy 😜)...esppecialy Littmans steth Classic II,but on females i like to see pink or red,because looks sensual on female body

I Agree with you Patthedrummer...i like all colors,but like others i preffer my color

I love my Littmann CArdilogy III in burgundy color

I love the appearance of the old simple conical chestpiece, but having gotten one, the sound quality isn't nearly as good as a modern scope.

Mine is sort of an icy frosted blue, transluscent. The bell/diaphragm rings are gray and the head is sort of a brushed nickel.

I love the old style twin-tube scopes, but have to agree the sound quality is quite poor by modern standards, however I still like to use mine occasionally for a play exam or quite often just to wear while watching TV

I like the look of the old stethoscopes but as has been mentioned previously the acoustic quality of modern scopes is superior.

I love black double tube stethoscopes or Littmann stethoscopes in every color

I have a pink sprague rappaport and a Littmann ll.Would have to say I prefer the Rappaport the most .

Grey Littmann Classic II and grey Riester Duplex. I love grey color. Littmann is asesome!

Yes! I love those! 😄

Being a traditionalist I think that the Littmann Cardiology III model is about the best versatile stethoscope and as a result I have a black Littmann's Cardiology III model stethoscope which I have had for a long time. Although lately I have been looking at the Caribbean Blue Rainbow or Red Littmann Cardiology III models as these would definitely stand out and be easy to identify in my clinical environment.

But as Phaedo2 has stated there is something nostalgic about seeing the old style steth with double tubing and a long bell/cone shaped chestpiece, our family GP always had his with his earpiece around his neck and the stethoscope hanging along his chest.

I'm not picky with stethoscopes, but I do prefer black or darker colored tubing. It just seems more professional.

Although, I'm hoping to add a lime green stethoscope to my collection at some point, just because I think it'd be cute. 😄

I also like heavy chest pieces, like on the Sprague or some of the cardiology Littmanns. Double tubing or single tubing doesn't really matter to me, hehe!

Black double tubing for me is the best 😃

Double tube type is the best for me

Lighter colours like grey and light blue look good on mature docs... However darker colours are also good to look at... Reds and yellows look good for play docs and are generally not used by professional docs...

I would love to have one of those old Stethoscopes that had just the bell , old school. I also love the look of the old Stethoscopes that had the "cold" diaphragm and the cone shaped bell. I have never seen one in real life but the kind of Stethoscope that Redstethguy has in most of his image posts.... The red one that has the heavy tubing and single thick diaphragm head looks like fun too. To me they are all a turn on.

The extremely light weight scopes are a big turn off.

Red Steths are hot!

Prefer much better the Littmann, black or navy!

Red Steths are hot!

Yeah, yeah, yeah - yes !!! They are the best, I think, too !!!

R & R: Red and Rubber :-)

I just got a 'black edition' Littmann Cardiology 3. Black plastic tubes, black metal tubes to the earpieces, black chestpiece. I've always like stethoscopes with thick black tubes and I guess this is the ultimate version for me.

I have only burgundy and navy blue Littmanns, but I really like the brass finish of Littmann scopes, they introduced the Classic III few days ago, looks very promising, the one piece diaphragm is a great idea and the tube is improved too, I would like to try it out how they sound, I think they will release the brass finish later, only have black edition and copper right now.
