Absolutely! But I think if you stay within in the same family, you’re refining the same skills more than expanding on new ones.
Have you tried mandolin? It’s just a violin with frets and doubled strings.
Yeah, equal temperment is sort of annoying. It’s nice to be able to just play the exact right note on strings. I think reed instruments are pretty good about intonation, too, but I’m not good enough to play with other people yet.

I have played the mandolin yes. I prefer to try to master one instrument than play loads, but piano is too useful not too know the basics. I still have a long way to go to achieve mastery of guitar…
