That's a common CoC position on music. Most will use a tuning fork to get the congregation on key. I asked a CoC friend about that and why they thought a tuning fork was allowable when the Bible doesn't call for one.
He said that the difference was that a tuning fork was an "aid" and "not an instrument."
I always wanted to see somebody turned loose with a set of tuning forks.
