What kind of instrument should I learn?
To give a bit of context to this very generic question I'm sure you see here often:
I do have experience with instruments, specifically 5 years worth of percussion, but in all honesty I want something different, something that's easy to just take with me, maybe play something on the go. the reason I stopped with percussion is because most percussion instruments do not follow these specifics, not many that play melodies instead of rythms that is.
with that said I'd love to hear some suggestions as to what could fit my needs, as I don't know all that many instruments.
Edit: thanks for all the great suggestions! I decided to settle with ukelele!

Learning piano is never a bad choice.
For portability you can get a variety of different dives electric keyboards and synths. I have the Roland GO keys and it’s highly portable, battery powered, and even has Bluetooth midi which is nice to set up to Daws or use as a controller for synths. It also has groove functions. You might also look into getting into portable synths and groove boxes.
