VAT Refund on Used Musical Instruments

score:3

The distinction between perfume and a musical instrument is that the perfume is consumable and the instrument is not. When you leave the EU and claim your refund, the customs official inspecting your goods won’t be checking whether the instrument is used, because it isn’t consumable. From this more complete guidance

no certification of export will be given for used consumable items, for example, perfume which is wholly or partly consumed in the EU

As Michael Hampton rightly points out, the instrument must be bought from a shop which participate in a VAT refund scheme. However, I don’t think it will be too much trouble to find such a shop. With a quick google search, I found several.
