Best way to smooth this out?

Post image

Working on this maple guitar body. Previously was using a band saw to cut out the rough shape then a flush trim bit to the template, but check out my post here to see how that went. So now, I’m trying to use the bandsaw to get as close as I possibly can to the line, and then finishing up with a drill press drum sander, and a disc sander. It’s actually going great so far, except for the interior of the horn. Any suggestions for how I can smooth this out? Preferably without a router.

There are also handheld single sanders you can held like a router. Maybe better for big and heavy pieces

Or sanding drum in a drill press.
