On brass instruments in general, you speed up the air you are blowing through it and the pitch gets higher. Or in other words, the faster you lips vibrate, the higher the note.

Would a long object make a high or low pitch?

Generally speaking, the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch i.e. tuba; the shorter the instrument, the higher the pitch i.e. picallo. There are variations, such as the french horn, but they are the exception. This principal is also used in tuning; pulling the mouthpiece on a saxophone out will drop the pitch (the instrument is now longer), and pushing it in will raise the pitch (it is now shorter).

What is a French horn?

A French Horn is a musical instrument in the brass section. You make sounds by buzzing your lips in the mouthpiece, similar to all other brass instruments. (The Saxophone is not a brass instrument. Even though it looks metallic, it is a woodwind.) The French Horn looks like a snail, it is circular in appearance. It is basically made of a 12 feet long metallic tubing, wound into a circle. The French Horn is usually in the F key, which is why they are also called "F Horn." There are also "double horns," where you have an additional valve that switches the horn to the B flat key. Double horns allow a more accurate pitch overall, since some notes are more accurate on the F horn, and others are more accurate on the B flat horn. Double horns also allow variety in fingering.
