Do they prevent people trying flutes there?

Only American Pie "band camp style" flute trial is probably banned in store

Or "The Sash" in (parts of) Scotland. 😈

Is the flute hygienically sealed? 

Unlikely.

Second hand wind instruments are definitely a thing though, and a flute is made of metal so can be sanitised quite easily, so it's not like it couldn't be sold once it's been used.

This was my thoughts but without it hygienically sealed the retailer doesn't have any grounds to refuse the right to cancel.

If it was hygienically sealed it may be debatable (although not in my view).

Unless it was reserved remotely and bought in store on collection in which case its not a distance sale but on prem and so subject to companies rules on returns as no statutory right
