I was referring to this quotation
Sorry about that...

Perhaps this quote will prove to be more helpful and to the point:

"Given the fact that Psalm 150 incorporates the instrumentation of the temple, the taboret playing and dancing of victory celebrations as well as instruments only used upon secular occasions…; coupled with the exhortation for everything that breathes to praise Jehovah it should be rather obvious that this Psalm was not meant to be used as a literal instruction guide for public worship. Psalm 150 is an exhortation expressed in poetic language which teaches that everyone in heaven and on earth should praise Jehovah with every fiber of his being." (from Brian Schwertley, “Musical Instruments in the Public Worship of God”, pg. 75.)
