i think what you might have is what we in the business like to call a "scratched flute." Lol, naw but really what kind of metal is it made of? I may not play the flute, but my many years of military service taught me how to clean the hell out of anything.

Most flutes are silver plated or nickel/silver plated. Scratches can occur with constant use of the horn. I do not know of a way to get out scratches without replating the entire horn. That would be expensive. If the scratches are fine a repairman may be able to remove or hide them by buffing with special rubbing compounds. I really think you should take it to a repairman. This is not something you need to attempt. Silver polish will remove the plating and cause further damage. How are the scratches getting there?
Normal playing should not do that.

You should be more careful. Of course time causes scratches, but those caused by time aren't often so harmful for playing.

While I realize that some repair work can turn into big bucks, there are something an amatuer should not attempt. I know of no home remedy for scratches.
