The amount of pressure that you press on the open holes also makes a
difference in the tone.

Try it and see for yourself. Play an upwards C scale from Middle C
(3rd space) to high C with light pressure on the keys and try it again
with hard pressure on the keys. Lift the fingers at the same rate of
speed and hear a different "ping" to the tone between the 2.

Gold and Silver Plated Ligatures sound and feel differently as well.
Just my observations as a Professional player - no more, no less.
