Does a bassoon have a higher sound than a flute?
A bassoon has a lower sound than a flute.
Why does a tuba make a low pitch sound?
Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave. On a guitar or piano, the wave is established on a string, but in a wind instrument like a trumpet, flute or tuba, the wave is established in the column of air inside the horn. The longer the column of air, the slower the wave will be, and slower waves produce lower pitches. It's just like on a guitar, where the longer portion of a string that's allowed to vibrate, the slower the wave and lower the pitch will be. All that piping in a tuba encloses a very long column of air, so its pitch is low, while the short pipe of a flute produces a high pitch.
What is the timbre of a guitar?
The timbre of a guitar is guitar timbre. I'm not sure you know what timbre is. It's the sound an instrument or voice has, so it can't be described, only heard. So, whichever guitar you have, the way it sounds is its timbre. On the same pitch your singing voice and your guitar, or your flute or whatever, sound different than each other, that difference is the timbre. Timbre cannot be described in numerical terms.
