A shorter instrument like the piccolo or the clarinet have a higher pitch as opposed to say a Tuba or a baritone saxophone which have a lower pitch.
It's basic physics. A longer tube will produce a lower pitch than a shorter tube.
The Viola has a lower pitch than the violinbecause of its lower-pitched string (the "C" string) compared to the violin's much higher-pitched string (the "E" string).
The shorter the pipe the higher the pitch. Conversely the longer the pipe the lower the pitch.
The performer doesn't actually change the pitch of the tubular bells. The pitch difference comes in the predetermined length of the tubes. The shorter the tube, the higher the pitch. Likewise, the longer the tube, the lower the pitch.

Smaller instruments produce higher frequencies. Compare, for example, the violin, the viola, and the bass. All have the same shape, but increasing size, with correspondingly lower pitch.
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).

Shorter tubes produce higher pitch sounds because they have a shorter length for the sound wave to travel through, resulting in a higher frequency of vibrations. This faster vibration rate creates a higher pitch sound compared to longer tubes which have a lower frequency.
The longer the air column in an instrument, the lower the pitch it will produce. This is because longer columns of air vibrate at lower frequencies, creating deeper tones. Shorter columns of air vibrate at higher frequencies, resulting in higher pitches.
Wavelength affects the pitch of sound: shorter wavelengths correspond to higher pitch, and longer wavelengths correspond to lower pitch. In the context of sound waves, shorter wavelengths are associated with higher frequencies, while longer wavelengths are associated with lower frequencies.
The frequency of violin strings affects the pitch of the sound produced by the instrument. Higher frequency strings produce higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency strings produce lower pitch sounds.

The pitch of a note is determined by its frequency, with higher frequencies producing higher notes and lower frequencies producing lower notes. Shorter strings, thinner strings, or higher tension on a stringed instrument will produce higher-pitched notes, while longer strings, thicker strings, or lower tension will produce lower-pitched notes.
