There are so many iPad apps that are almost like games, from guitar hero like, to sequencers, to percussion interfaces, innovative UI like soundprism, etc.
put kids in front of instruments, not another fucking Apple product!

^ Why not both?
Any spawn of mine will be fitted with a Chapman Stick + iPad combo from day one.

limited budget.
I'm sure there are iPad apps designed to teach kids how to site read.

there you go... you can get a decent guitar or bass for less than the price of most iThings.
you can get a good enough keyboard to learn piano on.
you could also get a drum machine.
i mean an app that looks like a frame around the hole on a guitar is cute and all, but there is no digital substitute for a stringed instrument. never. will. be.
sorry.

indeed giving him the E35 is the cheapest idea... but it's really bad looking, I think one or two keys have been broke and glued back...
what I should offer him is some time with him... but we don't see that much often, but I could make an effort some times
the little korgs seem nice too...

Something like a Casio CZ-230 might be suitable, if you can find one.
