Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave. On a guitar or piano, the wave is established on a string, but in a wind instrument like a Trumpet, Flute or tuba, the wave is established in the column of air inside the horn. The longer the column of air, the slower the wave will be, and slower waves produce lower pitches. It's just like on a guitar, where the longer portion of a string that's allowed to vibrate, the slower the wave and lower the pitch will be. All that piping in a tuba encloses a very long column of air, so its pitch is low, while the short pipe of a flute produces a high pitch.

A tuba is a low pitched instrument. It uses the bass clef also.

Well, honey, a tuba makes a low pitch sound by vibrating its big, long tubing and belting out those deep notes like a boss. The player controls the pitch by changing the tension of their lips and the speed of their air flow. So, next time you hear that tuba rumbling, just remember it's all about physics and some serious lip action.

frequency. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, with lower frequencies corresponding to lower pitches. Therefore, a sound with a low pitch will have a low frequency.
A violin typically produces high-pitched sounds. The pitch of the sound is determined by the frequency of the vibrations of the strings, and violins are designed to produce frequencies corresponding to high pitches.
to make the string make a low pitch sound
Pitch describes the highness and lowness of a sound. A high pitch sound has a high frequency, while a low pitch sound has a low frequency.
