How sounds are produced by instruments?

the simplified answer is that when the string is plucked or the bow is pulled across the string(s), it cause the string(s) to vibrate. The length and thickness of the string as well as the resonance of the instrument determines the wavelength and therefore determines the pitch of the sound produced. other factors that can affect the sound are the material the string is made of as well as the material of the instrument itself.

How does pitch change when you tighten the instrument?

From what I understand the space and other qualities cause the pitch. So depending on how much space the instrument is set at changes the pitch. Let's say you loosen a guitar string the pitch is flatter because the string has more space to make the sound waves. If you tighten the same string it will be sharper because the string has less space to make the sound wave.
