I think H would LOVE a guitar, a drum, maybe a horn and some other small instruments. I' not a fan of plastic nor do I want them to need batteries to work.
I'd prefer more realistic, but I don't think he needs a 100$ guitar
and go!

In our Music Together classes, we use: Rhythm Band, Reno Kids, and Rhythm Tech, and Toca Percussion. You can't go wrong with those instruments! The Reno drums are great.
Also--I've heard Tara guitars are good for little ones.
We have this guitar (or one pretty similar). M loooves it and plays it all the time. He also has a plastic one with buttons, etc that play music or drum sounds and he doesn't play with it nearly as much. We also have this M&D band in a box but we've not given him all the pieces yet. We have a wooden music table that has a drum, cymbal, and xylophone which M's great aunt gave him but I can't find a pic - I think it came from a museum gift shop.
ETA: we also have these bongo drums, but he doesn't play with them too much. Usually if he wants us to play an instrument with him he will bring these to us.

Good luck!
You could also get a piano. That's probably the only musical instrument DD plays with any regularity.
Other options: recorder, maracas, harmonica, small cymbals
