A box-resonated wooden xylophone is one of the most simplest kinds of xylophones you can build at home.

The reason why I recommend a xylophone is because, unlike guitars that have strings or musical instruments that require precise fabrication, a simple xylophone can be built out of hardwood and a few simple tools, over the weekend.
