I think if you’re trained musically, it’s not that big a jump. For instance, if you have developed a good sense of pitch, the violin’s intonation will come much easier to you. If you know how chords on constructed, you can hop on a piano pretty easily. I think the issue is a lot of “music education” (in the US, anyway), is really just about translating sheet music to an instrument and lots of people never learn musical sense. So to them, learning a new instrument is almost starting from ZERO.
