Reply To: Music that's supposedly a capella

DY: You’re right, of course. I forgot that depression was an extrapolation from L’zarez Bim’lachah and not explicit, but it is an extrapolation mentioned in the Poskim. By the way, we are more Machmir on music during Sefirah than the Mechaber is all year round, because we aren’t Meikil on Shiros V’tishbachos. I’m not sure why though. (I also seem to remember the SHM”Bon the Kitzur bring down that if it will reinforce your Emunah it’s Muttar as well.)
