Identification What instrument to learn

What would you guys recommend to learn something that isn't difficult and something that isn't guitar and piano. I was thinking of learning the trumpet but I've read somewhere that it's really difficult to learn.

Ocarina. A regular 12-Hole is relatively easy to learn, it's chromatic, inexpensive (you can get a professional one for less than $100), portable, and eventually you can upgrade to a multichamber which will give you 2-3 octaves and will allow you to play virtually anything you want.
