Littman = Best
Just got my product and it looks amazing! Craftmanship is superb but sound level/quality is really lower than that of Cardiology that I ordered for my girl friend before. Though it's expected because Cardiology has really higher quality than Classic. Will order again from stethoscope.com if ever I need more stethoscope (gift, personal use etc.)

Beautiful piece
This stethoscope is so much more beautiful in person. I had ordered it Saturday with engraving, and well they're only open on business days but it still shipped Monday afternoon! Not only that, but I received it Wednesday morning by 8AM! The engraving is super sharp and crisp, and the Times font looks classy. Definitely happy with this purchase and excited to use this thing all throughout nursing school and well into my nursing career!
