# The minhag is to be lenient regarding playing and listening to music during [[Chol HaMoed]] for simchat HaChag. <Ref>Sh”t Mishna Halachot 8:188 leaves it in a tzarich iyun. Az nidabru 10 :23:2 says it’s clearly permissible as does Sh”T Yachave Daat 1:45. </ref>

# One is allowed to play and listen to music at a wedding. <Ref> Tosfot (Gittin 7a s.v. Zimra) writes that for a Tzorech Mitzvah such as to make the Chatan and Kallah happy, one may lechatchila play songs with musical instruments. This is brought by many rishonim including Meiri, Chiddushei HaRan, Tosfot HaRosh, Smag, Hagahot Mordechai, Hagahot Maimon (Taniot 5) and ruled into Halacha by Rama 560:3, and even Sephardic achronim including Sh”t Yachave Daat 1:45. </ref>

# Some permit playing music at a [[Sheva Brachot]] meal during the three weeks, while some forbid. <Ref> Torat HaMoadim 5:4 writes that a simcha of [[Sheva Brachot]] would permit music during the three weeks. (It seems that Sh”t Igrot Moshe 166 and Sh”t Yechave Daat 1:45 would agree.) However, Rav Vosner in Sh”t Shevet HaLevi  3:157 writes explicitly that for a simcha of [[Sheva Brachot]] music and dancing are forbidden. </ref>
