When you blow into the flute it splits the air causing a whilstling noise, which is tuned by the piping to produce sound.

A flute produces sound when a stream of air directed across the top of a hole in the lip plate bounces in and out of the hole. The stream beats against the air in a resonator, usually a tube. The player changes the pitch of the flute by changing the effective length of the resonator. This is done either by closing holes, or more rarely, with a slide similar to a trombone's slide.
The air-stream must be flat, and precisely aimed at the correct angle and velocity, or else it will not vibrate.

ive played flute for 2 years- you blow air into the mouth piece and air circles down into the middle and foot joints and different combinations of keys make different sounds

manipulating air (space) thru piping to resonate at a very exact frequency.
