That isn't true.
The resonant frequency varies greatly with capacitance, and how
that capacitance is distributed. Even what the choke is around
changes the resonant frequency.
Physically small chokes have much higher series resonant
frequencies than larger chokes, even when the inductance is the
same.
Stray capacitance at the middle of the choke is the problem at the
first resonant frequency, so removing turns there and making an air
gap will shift the first series resonant frequency higher.
