Buddy...my guess is you haven't listened to any other Indian music then :) Haven't you heard Shankar Jaikishan using Accordian in Awara, S.D.Burman using Kalyanji's 'been' in Nagin, R.D.Burman using harmonica in Aradhana, Jatin Lalit using piano in Pehla Nasha, Vishal using guitar in Satya, Anu Malik using violin in Baazigar, Shiv Hari using Santoor and flute in Chandni, ....gosh the list can really go on and on!!!
