I am looking into buying my very first stethoscope to use as a respiratory therapist to listen to breath sounds, is this good for a beginner?

Yes. My wife uses it for fetal heart sounds at an OBGYN office. She loves it.

Definitely. Easy to play and sounds good. Best to start on an instrument such as this which offers quality without breaking the bank.

of course. Many prefer instruments they have grown up with, but I feel this stethoscope lets me hear abnormalities very well.

Watch fiddler man on YouTube. He has some great info to help. I love this violin. I do think (after researching my purchase ) that in the musical instruments market, money is an important factor. Spend to the upper end of your comfort level. It wil, hopefully, mean a higher quality instrument. Regardless, your first violin will have sentimental value, even if you invest in another.

Yes! This kit is very good for beginners. I'm a beginner as well and it worked great!

I doubt it works like a real doctor's stethoscope, but if you do it just right it will pick up a heartbeat. It doesn't make any sounds itself except from the foam on the sensor portion rubbing against whatever surface it is touching.

This instrument would probably good for beginners because of it's sheer simplicity, as it only has six holes. There is a pamphlet that comes with it that describes how to play it, and gives you fingerings for two octaves on the musical staff. It is easy to learn once you get the hang of lip placement on the mouthpiece, and I think that if you were to transition to the flute or piccolo, it would prepare you for the transition, as you would be able to control your tone and airflow better with practice from this instrument.

yeah I think so. Cause I am just a beginner and I think it's suitable for me.

You can hear all heart sounds adequately, I find a lot of murmurs others missed with much more expensive scopes. I found it to be very good quality

I would get the highest quality you can afford. This is fine for hobbyist quality but if you want professional type recording I would think you need something better

Yes, this is a wonderful instrument to begin learning to play on. The sound can be a bit "bright" in my opinion and it does not have a built in tuner. Well worth the money for the instrument!

It has a little heart that shows your pulse, if you watch it carefully, you could catch irregularites IF they were not hidden like extened q-r length or s-t segments. Basically it would show only the regularity of the beat, which you could get just as well if not better taking your own pulse and feeling for any skipped or fast beats. I would buy a stethoscope, which they have here on Amazon at very reasonable prices. I used to be an EMT and EKG Tech. I got both on this site and am very happy with the quality and professionalism they show.

I would try this ligature before buying a new mouthpiece. To start with it will be so much cheaper as a good mouthpiece is quite expensive. I found that this ligature allowed the reed to vibrate better and it is much easier to change reeds.

I think it would be ok for a beginner. Just make sure to watch out it dry's pretty fast.

Yes and no. It depends on what you want to do. This is a great starter scope. If your ideal night is looking out and seeing nothing more than planetary objects, then this will be the scope for you. If you have no experience with other telescopes, and this'll be the scope for you. I enjoyed this telescope however there are two big drawbacks. One is the telescope will only hold a 1.25 inch eyepiece. Once again this is ideal if you're just looking at planetary objects, however larger objects like Andromeda will require at least a 25mm to 35 mm eyepiece. The other drawback is the tripod, unfortunately it's very shaky despite what you do. When trying to look at things through the eyepiece a simple bump or even a little wind will knock it around, this is something that you would adjust to overtime. The upside are that it is very portable, Gives you a fundamental idea of how to use a telescope if you have no idea, and it has good imaging. I would highly recommend investing into new pieces as the two that come with it are very poor. Remember, your telescope is only as good as your eyepieces. If you are newer to telescopes then I would suggest this one, it's a cheap way to get an idea of what you're doing and will give let you know if you want to invest more into this fairly pricey hobby.

It is good for beginners and intermediate use in school bands. A very good option for beginning musicians.

No, absolutely not! For a beginner this instrument would be an excellent choice. $300.00 and some change is more than fair in my estimation. I play mine every day. It's a bit bright at first, but once the wood and strings settle in a bit (the more you play it the faster that will happen) it has a beautiful sound. It DOES NOT have a built in tuner, which is a minor issue for me. But may be a big problem for someone just starting out.
