I recently bought a B-stock laminate concert Islander from https://coolhandukes.shop. They set it up nicely. The Islanders have a wider nut and have bridge pins, both of which were appealing, and the reviews were complimentary. It sounds very good for the price. I also shopped at The Ukulele Site and https://mimsukes.com, which has a large selection including B-stock.

I was not aware of coolhandukes, they seem to have a nice selection. It is notable that they have many cheap ukes with bling and loud veneer patterns. Ukes like that often lack in quality and sound and plain looking ones often are better value. The Cynthia Lin signature models look nice
