As you blow across the mouthpiece, it sends vibrations down the Flute. When you block the air by closing keys, the vibrations get deeper making the sound deeper.

What do brass instruments have?
"Cup" style mouthpieces that you purse your lips and blow into, rather than putting your mouth around them.All brass instruments produce sound by sympathetic vibration of air in a tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips. All brass instruments are also called labrosones, meaning "lip-vibrated instruments".
What are the 2 common elements of all brass instruments?
The only common thing between all brass instruments are that they are made of at least half brass and they all need a mouth piece. There is also the same breathing techniques, though they can differ. For example, the theory that everything that is played is a long tone. Please note that I am not counting woodwind instruments, like saxophone, as brass instruments. If I did so there would be nothing in common with all brass instruments. I hope this helped!

What is the main difference between woodwind and brasswind musical instruments?
While both brass and woodwind instruments are played by blowing air into the mouthpiece, there are fundamental differences. Woodwinds, such as the clarinet and saxophone, use wooden reeds fitted to the mouth piece and it's the vibrations of this reed that create the sound. Brasswinds do not have a reed and the sound is created by the vibrations of the lips on the mouth piece.
