Flutes and other winds have flexible enough intonation that they can be
fairly easily "lipped" into tune within the deviations of most well
temperaments.

However, quite a few woodwind makers built instruments with different
joints for different keys, and a handful even had separate keys for what
12TET deems as enharmonic equivalents.
