After I had been playing mandolin for a few years, I found my eye wandering to other bluegrass instruments. I decided to give the banjo a try, and I’m really glad that I did–not because I have become a great banjo player, but because it changed the way I think about the music that I play. When I decided to give the bass a try, I found my world broadening even more, and I realized that there are benefits to playing multiple instruments, even if you don’t become proficient on all of them.
