In the gym that's called "cross-training". Sometimes I forget that I've learned to play almost two dozen different instruments. After a while it's more about the music than the mechanical means of sound production. Heck, I even get different musical ideas from different guitars. It's interesting to feel how a tune or song wants to be played on my hand-made dreadnought, my Harmony Sovereign grand concert size or my Loar archtop. They all want to play it their own way...
