I've got a mini "/out/ combo" that I like to use consisting of the following:
1. Guitar
>Obvious requirement, especially for group settings.
2. Melodica
> inb4 "hipster". Just picked it up and I love it. It's got a timbre like a harmonica, except easier to play and more versatile, can be played by any musician with a decent knowledge of a keyboard, great for reggae, and can play chords. It's great. A little bulky, but still lightweight.
3. Egg shakers
>Lightweight, small, and adds percussion.
4. Wood block/Crow Sounder
>Simple, lightweight, adds percussion, and can be played by almost anyone, getting the non-musicians in on the fun.
5. 5 gallon bucket & drum sticks
>I've usually got a 5 gallon bucket with me, so hey, why not? Also, almost anyone can do something with this.
Seriously, I'm loving my melodica. I've got pic related.
