You can use a tuner, a piano, a pitch fork, a pitch pipe, or another instrument to determine the correct pitch and then adjusting the way you play your instrument (for example tightening or loosening a specific string on a violin).

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.


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.

What is the relation between the length of the string of stringed instruments and pitch of the note the string produces?

The shorter you make a string, the higher the pitch will be. You can notice that as someone plays the guitar, and they slide their fingers toward the body, the pitch gets higher. If you loosen a peg on a stringed instrument to elongate the string, the pitch drops because the frequency (how many vibrations per second) decreases.
