Can I use 529 plan to pay for musical instrument for music performance major?

My son is a graduate student - music performance major (viola).  I am wondering if we can use a 529 plan to pay for an upgraded viola under the category of ‘equipment’.   I looked on IRS website, but its not definitive on this.  The IRS no longer appears to provide answers to tax law questions outside of tax season.
