And why? Not an instrument you already play. Pick something else.

I'll start.

Saxophone, so I can climb the rooftops and play my neighbours some cheesy sax porn solos of the eighties.

I guess piano, because I got a free piano off the streets. I could look up videos and lessons, but I'm kind of self conscious about practicing on a real whole god damn piano in an apartment building with neighbors in every direction. I also just don't like to make a lot of noise. I should price an electronic keyboard I can pair with Bluetooth headphones to practice in perfect silence and privacy sometimes.

I would buy some cheap second hand yamaha keyboard and set it up on a table. Something like this:

RockJam RJ761 61 Key Keyboard Piano with Keyboard Bench, Digital Piano Stool, Sustain Pedal and Headphones https://amzn.eu/d/6uVi2Yu

They go a bit cheaper than that too. But anything with over around 66 keys would work.

See how that feels first. If you get into it and enjoy it then move over to the piano you have or spend more money on a proper electronic piano that you can use with headphones.

I own one a bit like this

Though mine is 20 years old now and cost a few hundred less.
