Question for Musicians

I'm looking for an instrument. Exactly what type is what I need help with. I want something small, so that I can bring it with me and practice whenever I find I have a spare moment. But I want something that sounds beautiful, and familiar to most people. However I also don't want something that needs to have strings replaced or has reeds that break, so that I wouldn't have something happen with it and be unable to play it until I got whatever snapped or broke fixed. BUT ALSO something that isn't extremely childish, something professional seeming. But price doesn't matter to me much, I'm willing to save up. And the difficulty of playing doesn't matter too much either because I want it SO I'll have something to learn, practice, and hopefully get good at.

I'm very picky. :( Sorry.

Get a trumpet. No strings, no reeds and they sound beautiful when played well. And they're small and compact and they're easy to clean/maintain.megagene

withoutreeds or strings your only options are flute, piccolo, trumpet, coronet, or recorder

Well looks like lots of people say trumpet. =O I'll need to look into that real good - but I also really like the idea of a flute or piccolo.
Thanks! ^^

Well I play keyboards, or rather I'm learning, but they're a bit too chunky to bring places with me. Though I have seen roll out keyboards that would do nicely, however I'm not sure how the quality of those would be. :(

I can only think of four things that fit that description:

1)Harmonica
2)Flute
3)Ocarina
4)Recorder

You might as well just try singing.Berzz

Noo, no way that would work, I've got the worse voice on the planet and attempting to sing with it would get me killed. :P
