Means it's the smallest of the ukulele sizes and made from solid European acacia. Apparently acacia is akin to koa wood which is considered a preferred tone wood for high end ukuleles.
I purposely waited for this one because it'shand-made in Europe, from European woods. The neck and headstock are a natural mahogany and the fretboard ebony. Because it's solid tonewood it should sound better as the years pass. We shall see.
I jumped in at the deep end and bought something a little better than an entry level instrument because I knew that it'd be fun and something I continue to noodle around with for the foreseeable.
Apropos you learning: A good beginners book where chord boxes are explained and used is what ya need. I taught myself loads from such books when I first started out.
