In struments that go where the fun goes guitar, ukulele, banjo, accordion or mandolin are most popular with teens. Guitars are the most popular and teen-agers are responsible for making the guitar the na tion's second most popular mu sic maker. ADULT HOBBY?? Select ing an instrument for an adult is generally a matter of matching the instrument with the personality. The violin, flute and classical guitar are naturals for serious-minded in dividuals. The more gregari ous may prefer a recreational instrument guitar, ukulele, accordion. These instruments are not classified as family instruments, but help spark songfests to Mom and Dad's accompaniment. A FAMILY GIFT? Instru ments best suited for multi' purpose use by all members of the family are piano and organ. The piano is the most popular and versatile instru ment in the United States. Many families purchase pian os because it affords young sters a sound understanding of music's fundamentals. Easier To Learn The organ is easier to learn to play and recently has been used as a jazz instrument. It is ideally suited for parents who think they could never learn to make their own mu sic.

Portable electric organs begin at $50; console organs suited for home use range from $600 to $4,000. Something new for Christ mas shopping lists is an easy-to-play mouth i n s t r u ment that's fun for young and old alike the "Melodica." The Melodica has joined the ranks of the traditional re corder, bell and block in the school music classroom. It is also a favorite "beginner's" instrument for the at-home musician. A two octave, chromatic reed instrument, the Melodica is blown into and played with a piano-like keyboard. With very little difficulty, anyone can play songs such as "Long, Long Ago" and "Jingle Bolls."
