The wind you produce by blowing into the Flute.

As the wind passes the openings in the flute, the shape of the air is altered creating wave forms which can be interpreted as sound by the ear drums.

By pressing the keys and changing which holes are open you change the shape of the wind to form different sounds.

This is essentially the basis for all wind instruments, the final sound being the product of how many and which openings are in use combined with the type and shape of the material the wind is passing through all have an effect on the sound.

From this you get the basis for all wind instruments whether the flute, the Trumpet, the tuba or anything else you blow into.

You are simply reshaping the wind to produce wave forms.
