A short time ago, I noticed a post at the Life in Israel 
blog<http://lifeinisrael.blogspot.com>, related to this. According to 
it, a dispute erupted after someone came into a minyan with a violin 
and started playing it during Hallel. Later on, they agreed to ask a 
???? to a ???? ????? about it.  The question was posed to Rav Shlomo 
Aviner, a leading Dati-Leumi Rabbi, and he said that it should be 
avoided.<http://lifeinisrael.blogspot.com/2020/12/interesting-psak-musical-hallel.html>

Reb Shlomo Carlebach pioneered playing musical instruments during 
some davening.  See

IMO no one has come close to Reb Shlomo when it comes to Jewish 
music. Interestingly enough,  his early  background was pure Yekkish.
