Which Instrument is Right for Me?

This could depend on a few factors:

If you want an instrument that is portable, choose guitar or ukulele.
If you want an instrument that is extremely diverse, or helps you understand music theory, choose piano/keyboard
If you like to remain in the background, choose bass.
If you love being in the spotlight, choose either guitar or vocals.
If you absolutely love rhythm, try drums, bass, or guitar.
If you love classical music or would like to be trained classically, choose a violin or piano.
If you need an instrument to help you write songs, choose guitar or piano with a chording technique.
If you are looking for a quick, easy instrument, try ukulele or bass.

It depends on how far you want to go, what your expectations are, and your practice habits, but here are a few things to keep in mind:

If you are a complete beginner, the process of learning your first beginner-level song is usually between 10-16 weeks.
Some instruments take longer than others. For instance, piano takes much more time to learn than ukulele.
After 1 year of lessons, with LOTS of practice and training, a person could even teach complete beginners under the right circumstances, depending on the instrument.
Learning an instrument to its fullest capacity can take a lifetime.
