Concertina.
That’s the perfect instrument for quick learning and then playing some complete music, not just a tiny part of it.
Needs no theory before starting, and you never look for the perfect tune. Only thing to really learn and practise is the coordination of both hands, and then for many songs you need only 4-5 buttons on both sides.
Unlike the piano or accordion, the variant with the round buttons has all the harmonies prepared for you.

Why not harmonica? They’re likewise keyed instruments and can be taken anywhere.
I’d argue though that the easiest instrument to pick up is a stick.
The easiest to learn music theory from? Any keyboard based instrument (piano, concertina, accordion, harmonica (virtual keys), autoharp, etc.). Bells, glockenspiels, vibraphones and xylophones are pretty easy too, but you need the aforementioned sticks as well.
