The difference is that pitched instruments play notes, whereas non pitched instruments do not. Example, there are many non pitched percussion instruments, like snare drums, but drums such as timpani's actually play notes and can be adjusted, making them pitched. All woodwind brass and string instruments are considered pitched.
