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).

An example of is when a long high pitch causes a crystal glass to begin to vibrate and then break?

Resonance occurs when an object vibrates at its natural frequency when exposed to external vibrations, causing it to absorb energy and vibrate more intensely. In the case of the crystal glass, the high pitch sound wave matches the natural frequency of the glass, leading to increased vibrations and structural failure.
