Something you might want to think about.

Worst case scenario:
If you decide to play an instrument because it has a reputation of being "easy to learn," all the musicians you play with will be aware of that reputation.

You will be considered a musical wuss who is afraid to try to play a "real" instrument.
It will be assumed that you have no musical ability or taste.
You will not be made welcome.

Maybe you won't notice that you are a pariah and have lots of fun.
Maybe not.
