There is plenty on YouTube;
Examples

Overtones;
https://study.com/academy/lesson/overtone-definition-lesson-quiz.html

The clarinet, being a closed cylinder, has strong even overtones - 2nd, 4th, 6th etc. The register key triggers the 2nd overtone, left index finger off triggers the 4th etc.

Flute, an open cylinder, and saxes, oboe and bassoon, all closed cones, trigger the 1st overtone (octave) and other overtones are triggered by specific fingerings.

Also, the strength of particular overtones makes sounds identifiable to the human ear as to what the are.

Tuning;

Or try some of these;
