There are two factors that affect both the flute tone:
1. The position of the finger.
2. Flow rate of air blown by mouth.
Fingering position changes the resonant wavelength of sound in the flute body. Depending on the distance to the nearest hole to the head of the flute, different notes can be generated. Air flow rate can also change the tone frequency. A note with twice frequency can be produced mostly by blowing air into the flute's head with a hole twice the speed.
