"No, it was Apollo."
Not quite.
All the Greek gods had instruments associated with them, if for no other reason than certain instruments were regarded as evocative of certain aspects of the various gods (frame drum and bull-roarer for Zeus as an example) and thus were deemed useful in ceremonies devoted to certain gods.
These associations were then often interwoven into the general mythological narrative.
Athena was associated with and has stories connecting her with the invention and playing of the Aulos Flute, and the invention of the horn...both possibly due to her aspect as goddess of artisans and warfare respectively (speculation).
With respect to the flute, the most popular story has her rejecting it possible due to the flute being a frenzy instrument associated with orgiastic and/or trance rites after the introduction of Dionysian cults into Attica ...these new instrumental associations imported from Thrace not being in keeping with Athena's traditional virtues.
