Why does the violin have the highest pitch?

I assume you mean, highest of the string family. It is the smallest of the 4 orchestral stringed instruments (violin, viola, cello, and double bass), and is therefore able to produce the highest-pitched sounds. The shorter the string which is made to vibrate, the higher its sound.

What can you use to tune your guitar?

A Guitar Tuner... You can use the E key on a piano/harmonica/etc to tune the lowest and highest strings. Then you put your finger on the 5th fret of the thickest string/E string. Play that note and the next string open. Tune the fifth string to sound like the 5th fret of the sixth string. Do that for the next 3 strings until you get to the 2nd thinnest string/B string. That time use the fourth fret of the string before it. Then tune the highest string to sound like the lowest string in a different octave. You can also use harmonics.
