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 is an upper brass instrument?
Upper brass instruments are a category of brass instruments that are typically characterized by their higher pitch range. This group includes instruments like the trumpet, cornet, and flugelhorn. They produce sound through the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece and use valves to change pitch. Upper brass instruments are commonly used in various musical genres, including classical, jazz, and marching bands.
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
Is piccolo high pitch or low pitch than violin?
The piccolo has a higher pitch than the violin. It is a small woodwind instrument that sounds an octave higher than a concert flute, making it one of the highest-pitched instruments in the orchestra. In contrast, the violin has a range that is higher than many string instruments but is still lower than that of the piccolo. Therefore, the piccolo is considered to be higher in pitch compared to the violin.
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 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.
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.
Used to tune brass instruments to a common pitch?
A pitch pipe.
How does a brass instrument make noise?
Brass instruments are different from all the other instruments in that the person playing is solely responsible for the sound of the instrument. Brass instruments require the player to buzz their lips in the mouthpiece. This sound reverberates throughout the instrument and produces the sound that comes out of it. This differs from other instruments, where the player makes part of the instrument vibrate (i.e. reed, string, drum head). The pitch of brass instruments is then changed by changing the frequency of the vibrations created by the lips. If you buzz your lips at a higher pitch, the instrument plays a higher note. The opposite is also true. Buzzing your lips at a lower pitch creates a lower note.
