Is there a strong enough sandpaper or specific file for it? Because I have a harmonica that has very sharp edges on its mouthpiece, and I want to smooth them out. I don't know if there exists a sandpaper for that, and I think if I used a file that I would make the edges very rough and jagged, which would be worse.

Crocus cloth or emery paper will work. It will leave a smooth edge also.

Yeah, you can certainly get sandpaper for the job. Go to an automotive store and get a sample pack of wet/dry sandpaper. Start with the lowest grit (probably around 600), and then progressively move through the finer grits (up to 1200 or 1500). This would put a nice smooth finish on the edges.

You will want to use a file with very fine teeth specifically for metal. The more aggressive or bigger the teeth the rougher the result will be. If you get a very fine file it will give you a smooth result. Sandpaper will really scratch it up and not give you the result that you want.
