I am wondering if the holes in flutes have a particular name. I am assuming that all wind instruments share the same name for their holes, but I am not sure what it might be.

Holes in wind instruments which control pitch are generally called toneholes or tone holes, but this term is often reserved for holes covered by pads operated by "keys". Holes covered by the fingers are fingerholes or finger holes.

I learned them both as tone holes, but the ones on keyed instruments being also called keys (confusingly, given the key is also the key), and those on non-keyed instruments being also called finger holes.

My axe during the brief time I left percussion was the bassoon, which has both fingerholes and keyed toneholes AND 'ring' keys activated by covering the fingerholes they surround. But my instructor almost never referred to the holes themselves, just the fingers (or 'heel') used to cover them.
