A Flute produces sound by a flow of air blowing through the end of a tube and the keys that are open. The pitch of the sound comes from the length of air that is being allowed through the tube. If more keys are being held down, it will lower the sound. More air has to pass through more distance and therefore creates a deeper sound. If more keys are open it will produce a higher sound. Think of the Trombone and piccolo. These instruments work the same way. Trombones have a deeper sound because of how long the air chambers are. Piccolos are higher because the air only has a short way to pass through.
