Clearly there’s no right answer, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts about the virtues of picking up different instruments versus diving deep on a specific instrument. I have gotten to be a pretty advanced intermediate player on my main instrument and am interested in picking up another, but I’m worried that I’ll regret not pushing my skills further on my main instrument (I.e. becoming genuinely advanced). I don’t have much time to practice, so I worry that trying to pick up another instrument would mean either plateauing or backsliding on my main instrument, or else neglecting the new instrument. I’d appreciate hearing from multi-instrumentalists and purists (for lack of a better word lol)—what works for you?
