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.

Where is the first piccolo now?
It is a fairly reasonable thing to want to know where the first of any particular variety of thing has gotten to. For the first piccolo, however, like many firsts in musical instruments, this may not be an easy thing to tell. The term "Piccolo" means simply "small" in Italian. The instrument we now call Piccolo is actually the Piccolo Flute, the smallest of a family which includes the "normal" flute (actually the soprano of the family), the Alto Flute, and the Bass flute. The flutes go back in time before the Renaissance. In the Baroque, the flute was generally known as the German flute or Transverse flute, to differentiate it from the Recorder family. The flute family was voiced like most Renaissance instruments, from soprano to bass, and smaller sizes probably existed as well. (In the recorder family, the soprano was far from the highest-pitched of the family, with the sopranino pitched above it and the Gar-Klein above that!) The transverse 6-hole pipe exists in many societies, both as a fipple (recorder-like) and transverse (flute-like) instrument. The modern piccolo (which is actually known in Italy as "ottavino") is claimed by some sources (of questionable authority in the matter) as first being played in 1854. It is unlikely that this is a first, since the English made reference to it nearly 20 years before. With so little to identify the 'first' piccolo, locating it or even verifying that it still exists is well-nigh impossible.
What small ensemble uses an instrument not belonging to the same family as the rest?
