They play music all the time.

Panche Baaja "Five Musical Instruments" is a set of five traditional Nepali musical instruments that are played during holy ceremonies like marriages. Panche baajas are usually played by the Damai; these are Dalit (untouchable) castes in Hindu tradition.

The panche baja includes the jhyali (cybals), tyamko (small kettledrum) or dholak (drums), damaha (large kettle drum), narsiha (a long S-shaped trumpet), shehnai (a folk oboe), and karnal (a wide-mouthed, straight trumpet with a bell that resembles the datura flower.).
Other rendering give the ensemble as: shehnai, jhyali, dholki, tyamko, and damaha.
