Strings: How thin the string is and how short the string is.
Brass: The length of tubing and tightness of the embouchure (mouth).
Woodwind: The length of tube and tightness of the embouchure.
Percussion: The size of what is being hit.
Pitch is the tonal frequency of a given sound. "Higher" pitch is associated with an increased frequency (and shorter wavelength). (see related links) *For other uses of pitch, see related questions.

Timpani
The quality of a musical note or sound that distinguishes different types of sound production, such as voices or musical instruments. The physical characteristics of sound that mediate the perception of timbre include spectrum and envelope. Timbre is also known in psychoacoustics as sound quality or sound color. For example, timbre is what, with a little practice, people use to distinguish the Saxophone from the Trumpet in a jazz group, even if both instruments are playing notes at the same pitch and amplitude.
to asses persons hearing ability specially air conduction versus bone conduction A tuning fork used to be the standard method for checking the musical pitch of instruments. When struck it would vibrate at a definite frequency, which could be heard, and Musical Instruments could then be adjusted to match. Nowadays that is more usually done by electronic oscillators.
The trumpet has the highest pitch of all brass instruments.
They are called vibrations which are different kinds of pitch.

The pitch of someone's voice is controlled by the tension on the vocal chords
a musical amplitude it the wave lenth of the pitch
All instruments produce a pitch.
The crude construction of early trumpets didn't allow for the precise control of pitch required for producing music. The natural trumpets of the Medieval period were the first trumpets known to really be considered "musical" instruments.
