It can be very helpfull to widen your musical horizon.
Especially when u compose and arrange your own songs containing other instruments. You learn what tonal range several instruments have, what is playable and what is impossible to play with a certain instrument and you get heaps of new inspirations!
If you want to be different and go other ways in music that all the others, then this can be very usefull - my teacher for example writes the guitarparts for his songs on his keyboard and vice versa - so you get to play things on your guitar that you wouldnt have figured out just by using the guit. Simply because a keyboarder plays things in different way as a guitarist would (or a violin player, or whoever).
So knowing about other instruments possabilities and qualities can help you big time to write more interrestinn and uniqe stuff :)
