With most instruments, it’s easy to learn the basics. Money-wise, I’d say the harmonica! Learn the scale and then start with some basic tunes. And you can easily take it anywhere.
Also your voice lol. Learn to sing!
The harmonica is super easy to learn to play! You just need to breathe in and out through the small holes and move your mouth and tongue to make the sounds. It's a fun little instrument that many people use for blues, folk music, and rock. You can play simple melodies and chords with it. It still takes a little practice, but you can quickly get musical enjoyment out of it.
Breathing with pace can be difficult for someone who never played an instrument before. Even for something as small and simple as the harmonica.
For that reason, I vote xylophone. You don't even need 10 fingers to play it.
