Peace Rasmalaii
This has been debated here before. The conclusion is that there is no direct reference to music, but there is reference to:
a) Adopting religious rites of people of other religions
b) Doing things to waste time
c) That instruments are classed in the same category as some other things all which are haram
d) That vain talk is classed as singing with music about pointless things
Generally anything that can distract from the remembrance of God.
Also there is another important thing to note that the general ruling on music is that it is haram but in some cases some instruments can be used in the case of Nasheed and Qasidah.
You may not find many narrations on this as it was something that was not done anyway ... It is like asking for a reference on whether we are allowed to smack ones father on the head with a slipper, there will be no direct reference for this in the Sunnah, but we know that this is not allowed.

Music is one of those things that should not be promoted
If that would have been the case then in india and Africa all we could have found the generation of Invaders???
Isn’t it true that Khwaja Moin and other Sufi’s used music to get close to Allah.
Has no one read the hadith of Sahih Bukhari *I can provide reference
That in Masjid Nabvi the Habshi’s were dancing and Hazarat Aysha watched them.

I can see from what you have posted that unfortunately the information you have is not complete.
Yes, it may be true in certain strict conditions for music to be used. The general sense is no ... have you actually listened to the links? They are from a sufi scholar!
And please bring the hadith and we shall analyse it ... I think you will find it very interesting on close inspection.
Re: Is this wrong?
well there is atleast one sahabi abdullah b jafar who routinely employed musicians and paid them, so bookworm i dont know if a historical event proves that something is part of sunnah
Re: Is this wrong?
what i know or heard of from mom is um in Prophet PBUH's time a dhol/ similar instrument was played for the purpose so people come to know who got married to who.
Musical instruments are haram BUT some say disagree that on special occasion u can play to express your happiness as when Prophet PBUH entered Madinah duff was played to welcome him.
Music is strictly forbidden although.
