Rejuvenating a flute by removing its worn silver plating

Hi, I have a Silver plated flute and after a year of playing it the finish has started to come off. It has aged the look of the flute and I would like to take all of the finish off so as to make the flute look younger/cleaner again. Is there anyway I can do this?
