Often for practical reasons as I described, they are the most common I think. In Asia, I don't know, they might use more native instruments. I think in the Baltics they might even use violin. So culture is a determining factor. Music is enjoyed and is helpful, but not required. If the piano player is sick or comes late, everyone will just sing without instruments. If they forget or don't know the tune, they will sit it out. There is no dedicated music band that assembles every Sunday for the meetings. However people may assemble outside of the meeting to make music or record a CD etc, in which case any sort of instrument could be used. More sophisticated instruments may be used for production of CDs or gospel outreach.
