One of my friends, a bansuri player - is always appearing  with new
electronic gadjets that he picks up in India - he must have at least 8
different shruti boxes ( drone makers) and 3 or 4 electronic tabla machines
- one of them even has a tv style remote control! They're all *really*
funky/clunky.

So I guess that some players are using electronics but I'm sure you wont 
see
Ravi Shankar w/ an Boomerang anytime soon.
