A higher pitch or note is produced by either shortening the string length by fingering (as in a guitar or violin), or by tightening the string, as in tuning a guitar.

Higher pitches can also be played by lightly touching a string at its exact midpoint while plucking it, which suppress is fundamental pitch will allowing its harmonic to sound. This would produce a sound one octave higher.
