How did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approve the hand drum on festivals and at weddings, as in his story with Abu Bakr?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the statement of our master Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that there is a flute in the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:
every people have a festival and it is our festival إنَّ لكلِّ قوم عيدًا ، وهذا عيدنا
Sahih Muslim 892a
, so he approved, meaning the hand drum on festivals and at weddings; well, how did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approve a flute from the flutes of the devils?

The Shaykh : When he approves it, the flute is not heard... the general rule... what did we tell you? Just as he imposed a condition on not hearing the dead, he also imposed a condition on the flutes of the devils in inappropriate occasions.

The questioner : Yes, yes, perfect, perfect.
