Rappaport Stethoscope

what are the disadvantages of a sprague rappaport type stethoscope?

Some people object to the dual tubes in that they’ll rub against each other. I’ve never seen that as a problem. You have binaural hearing, a good diaphragm, a good bell, interchangeable sizes of both, and generally everything you’ll ever need. If you get one in the $20 range, you won’t be heartbroken when (and it is when, not if) the thing walks off.
