I'm looking to get back into playing an instrument. I used to take piano lessons as a kid (and hated it), and I played the zither for a while (and loved it) but never got good at it and eventually fell out of the habit. I'd like to try something new but not sure where to start. I don't mind if it's an obscure/niche instrument, although I'm not all that into percussion. I'd prefer for it to be something that's relatively cheap and easy to maintain, small and light enough that I could fit it into like a shoulder bag or backpack and carry it around, and isn't absurdly difficult to learn. I really enjoy both American and European folk music so maybe something I can use for that. Any suggestions?
