But how do you know that those instruments result in a joyful noise? Show me exactly in scripture where it says that those instruments qualify as joyful-noise makers.

Psa 150:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Psa 150:2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Psa 150:3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Psa 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Psa 150:5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Psa 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

That covers about every instrument ever made...Even bag pipes...Any and every musical instrument imaginable can be used in church worship...

No it doesn't. It covers trumpets (horns, the ancient Hebrews didn't have keyed trumpets), psaltery (plucked string instrument), harps, timbrels (tambourines), stringed instruments (ancient Hebrews only had plucked string instruments, so this is basically a repetition of the "psaltery and harp"), organs (a flute/syrinx/panpipe, ancient Hebrews didn't have keyboard organs or anything of the like), and cymbals.

A good Protestant would leave the interpretation of Scripture to those numpties in Rome and stick with harps, shofars, panpipes, cymbals and tambourines, just to be safe. You can leave your pianos, harmoniums, pipe organs, and bowed instruments at home. Ditto on the keyed-instruments.
