Bear in mind that the length to bore ratio is the most important factor in tuning a flute, so make sure you measure ACCURATELY before doing your hole placement calculations. Likely you won't notice that you have made a mistake until the very last hole...as that is where the error will definitely show up.
Hope these help.... :)
