Pitch is related to the frequency of the vibration. Frequency means the number of vibrations per second that a given string is tuned to produce. Today in most applications 'standard' pitch is centered around A=440, which means that a frequency of 440 cycles per second gives the musical pitch A.

What is the simultaneous sounding of pitches?
The simultaneous sounding of pitches refers to the occurrence of two or more musical notes being played or sung at the same time.

The keys on a guzheng, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, are typically made of materials such as wood, bamboo, or metal, depending on the design and craftsmanship. The choice of material affects the instrument's tone and resonance. In some modern guzhengs, synthetic materials may also be used for durability and consistency. The keys are often carefully tuned to produce specific pitches when plucked.
How does transposition work for the bass clarinet?
Transposition for the bass clarinet involves playing music written in a different key than the instrument's sounding pitch. The bass clarinet is a transposing instrument, meaning that when it plays a written C, it sounds as a concert B-flat. This requires the player to read music in a different key than it is written in to produce the correct pitches.
How does differences in strings on a stringed instrument effect pitch?
