Summary: 3 Stars
I have owned all the cardiology models from Littmann and Welch-Allyn. As a collector and a physician I have personally used all of them on my patients and I can honestly tell you that the Master cardiology model from Littmann is the most overrated. It is virtually identical to the Cardio III model which is a little better than the Classic II. But there are no big differences between the Master Classic and the Master Cardiology except the diaphragm is slightly bigger and looks more intimidating. The only thing I like in the Master Cardio model is the adapter. It takes forever to put it on but once it's on, it can literally blow your ears away. It provides an excellent low frequency respond which is very important for the heart sounds, but very very inconvenient and impractical. Now, the STC cardiology which is rated 9 according the to 3M chart really should be a 10/10 and the Master cardio really should be a 9. The only reason why the Master beats the STC in that respect is simply because of the acoustic of the adapter. In terms of pediatric auscultation, the STC model can be used with the tip of the oval shape design instead of snapping on the adapter. The STC is much much easier to hold compared to the Master which if you have big fingers, you can't really move around much and there's no other way to hold it. My advice is; you should test out the Master Classic which in my opinion is virtually identical to the Master Cardiology, and the STC before you spend 200$.Customer Review: beware of who you order from

DO NOT ORDER FROM ShopMedicalSupply. THEY ARE DISORGANIZED, LOST MY PRODUCT, AND REFUSE TO CALL ME BACK, DESPITE NUMEROUS VOICE MESSAGES, AND EMAILS. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FILE A CLAIM. ALSO, THEY USE US POSTAL SERVICE, WHICH MEANS YOU CANNOT TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, AND HAVE NO WAY OF OBTAINING ANY INFORMATION. NOT TO MENTION IT TAKES LONGER.
