A longer string will have a greater distance between peaks of the waves of the vibration, so a sound will be lower on the sound wave scale.

Is the harp a percussion instrument?

The harpsichord is a stringed, specifically plucked stringed, instrument, like a guitar. Percussion instruments are those where you have to hit something to make the sound. So drums are percussive, obviously, but less obviously the piano is also percussion, because the sound is made by striking the strings. Harpsichord is not percussive because the strings are plucked, not struck.
