Um, I think you're mixing things up a bit.
String instruments aren't blown. They are played with a bow (arco) or by plucking the strings (which is called pizzicato). The string instruments' pitches are affected by the ''tautness (how tightly they're pulled) or tightness of of the strings and where the fingers are placed to make the string more taut and make the pitch higher.''
Woodwind and Brass instruments are blown and as far as I know blowing harder just makes them louder. ''Wind instrument pitch is mostly changed by changing the length of the vibrations in the tube (i.e., in the bore.) This happens every time the player changes the fingering: opening holes shortens the bore, closing them lengthens it. There are also ways of changing the pitch by changing breath pressure or embouchure tension (lips).''
I borrowed some information from other people's answers in order to get this one. (Thank you to them). I hope this helps by the way.
What else can I help you with?
What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?
One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
What do woodwind and brass instruments have in common?
To play it, you have to put air through it.
Which instrument produces the highest pitch of all the woodwind instruments?
flute
How do valves and slides affect the pitch on brass instruments?
Brass instruments produce sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument alter the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. The farther the air has to travel in the instrument the lower the pitch of the sound is, whereas the less distance the air has to travel the higher the pitch the instrument will produce.
Are brass instruments high or low pitch?
They can be both high and low pitch. There are brass instruments that are considered "high voices" like trumpets, there are brass instruments that are considered "middle voices" like french horns, and then there are brass instruments that are considered "low voices" like trombones, euphoniums, and tubas. All brass instruments have a pretty large range of pitches they can play depending on how good the player is, so the pitches can greatly vary.
Is brass instrument is lower pitch then woodwind instrument?
Yes, brass instruments produce a lower pitch than woodwind instruments. Woodwind instruments use a reed to vibrate the air to produce sound, whereas brass instruments produce sound from the player's lips vibrating in a mouthpiece.

What are the different types of instruments in the brass and woodwind families, and how does the trombone fit into these categories?
The brass family includes instruments like trumpet, trombone, and tuba, which produce sound by vibrating the player's lips. The woodwind family includes instruments like flute, clarinet, and saxophone, which produce sound by blowing air through a reed or across a hole. The trombone is a brass instrument that uses a slide to change pitch, making it unique in the brass family.
Which brass instrument plays the highest note?
A trumpet plays the highest notes of all the brass instruments Other relatively common brass instruments include (in descending order by pitch): Flugelhorn Mellophone French Horn Trombone Baritone Euphonium Tuba Although flutes and clarinets can play higher notes than trumpets, flutes and clarinets are part of the woodwind family.
How do you determine pitch and volume of an instrument?
The pitch in an instrument can be how large or small the instrument is - as in small instruments are pitched higher and big instruments are pitched lower. In woodwind and brass instruments the volume is determined by how hard you blow down the instrument. On the piano it is how hard you press down on the keys. On an orchestral string instrument it is how softly you draw the bow across the strings. On a guitar it is how hard you pluck the strings.
What do woodwind and brass instruments have in common?
To play it, you have to put air through it.
Which instrument produces the highest pitch of all the woodwind instruments?
flute
How can you make a higher pitch on the french horn?
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.
What are the differences between woodwinds and brass instruments in terms of sound production and playing techniques?
Woodwind instruments produce sound by vibrating a reed or blowing air across a tone hole, while brass instruments produce sound by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece. Woodwinds require precise fingerings to change pitch, while brass players use valves or slides. Woodwinds have a softer, more mellow sound, while brass instruments have a brighter, more powerful sound.
Used to tune brass instruments to a common pitch?
A pitch pipe.
What instrument has the lowest pitch of the brass instruments?
Tuba
Which instruments can produce the lowest pitch?
The instrument that can produce the lowest pitch are Saxophone,Woodwind & low pitch Piano ect....
