Is this a dual headed stethoscope?

I need a "dual headed stethoscope" for school. I'm not sure if the model I've chosen is one. Medical students and/or doctors, please help me.

Is this stethoscope right here a dual headed stethoscope: http://www.steeles.com/catalog/3mclassII.html ?

It looks like one to me, but I'm not totally sure if it is.

Yep. Had one. It's pretty good.

Yes, that is dual-headed. You can see from the pic that it has both a bell (used for hearing low-frequency sounds) and a diaphragm (used for hearing high-frequency sounds).

Yes, it has a two-sided chestpiece.

Yes, seconding that you've picked a nice scope there. A lot of med students go with the Littman Cardio III, but it's wayyy more expensive.

Happy ascultating!

Yep, dual headed and exactly the stethoscope I have (which I'm very happy with).

Yeppers.
You can resolve this puppy now. You're not going to get any different answers.
Well, you might, but they'll be wrong.
