Instruments to learn are.
Ukulele. Inexpensive to buy and super fun to play, the ukulele is one of the easiest instruments to learn. ...
Harmonica. Be it blues, jazz, rock, folk, or country music, the harmonica (also known as the “Blues Harp”) is a great choice for adult beginners. ...
Bongos. ...
Piano. ...
Glockenspiel.
Was surprised the piano was amongst that but what drew my attention for said post was the array of ukuleles in a shop window.
Think i’m Gonna get myself one of those.
Anyone else have experience of ukulele and share any tips ?  |

"No. Never even met anyone who played one. Im better with a mouth organ.x"
My da’s party trick was getting the mouth organ out and rattling off a few tunes 
I might be better with a triangle  |

"I played the keyboard and the horn when I was a kid. Used to be able to read sheet music. Couldn't do it now."
Visions of you puffing and panting on that horn |

+1 for ukulele
They are actually teaching it in schools instead of the awful recorder.
It is cheap, easy and sounds a whole lot nicer.
Also, to see what can be done with ukuleles check out the ukulele orchestra of Great Britain on youtube. I particularly like their take on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly tune. |

"I’m musically dyslexic when it comes to playing an instrument but have other talents  "
Haha! I am the same. Was saying this recently to someone, I am musically dyslexic, always been!
However, few years back I started teaching myself the alto sax.
I rewrite everything to suit the way my brain works!
And I can play a few tunes now |
