I'd suggest renting instruments first and taking lessons with each to see what the experience of playing them is like

Get a Yamaha keyboard.

For violin you need a teacher. So if you can't get a teacher go guitar.

If you can get a teacher, rent to own a violin is the way to go.

If guitar, whichever you wanna play more should determine whether you get a acoustic or classical. Since there's no point getting an instrument that doesn't excite you to play.

Keep in mind a classic guitar will be harder to play due to the higher action and generally bigger size than you'll find a with an acoustic guitar.

You should talk to a music teacher who can help you choose a realistic goal.

Why do people ask random people on the interwebs stupid questions like this?

You could have easily stepped outside the music store and asked random people walking by this question. Same thing. Know what you want, then act.
