as well as the elimination of instruments that are “inadequate for liturgical use,” such as the electric guitar or drums, although it is not likely that specific instruments will be mentioned.

I can't stand when the Vatican is ambiguous. If the Vatican does not define what is "inadequate for liturgical use" the current abusers of liturgical music will rationlize their way out of it and everything will continue as it was.

Not defining things = no one obeying.

If the Vatican does not define what is "inadequate for liturgical use" the current abusers of liturgical music will rationlize their way out of it and everything will continue as it was.

One rationale I've heard for not defining specifically is that if you say no guitars the next Sunday a ukelele will appear in its place and so on. I don't know that I buy this explanation but I'm sure there will be some liturgical lunatics who will experiment to see what they can get away with. Unless you have a Bishop willing to knock some heads together there isn't much the Vatican can do except lead by example and try to correct what is wrong in the seminaries.
