Of course we all have different goals. It's fine to play one instrument, just as it's fine to play multiple instruments.
But I agree with this statement. I get more gigs nowadays on piano than I do on trumpet. A trumpet-playing friend of mine back in college doubled on bass, and got a lot of gigs this way too.

I had a friend who got the coveted improv-solo seat in the One O'Clock Band at North Texas and he traded it later for the Bass seat in the Three O'Clock Band. I asked him incredulously what he was doing and he answered, "Bass players work".

| What is your experience with playing similar instrumets - trumpet and flugelhorn. Any disadvantage for my trumpet playing when I pick up a flugelhorn from time to time? Do you need to practice both? |
