Most instruments have a part that can be pulled out or pushed in or tightened in some way to change the overall pitch of the instrument. Oboes do not have this function as the pitch is controlled by the reed and the player's mouth on the reed. Pitch is raised by taking more reed into the mouth, shortening the instrument, and lowered by loosening the embouchure and lengthening the instrument.

Is the oboe d'amore higher or lower in pitch than the orchestral oboe?
The oboe d'amore is in A; the oboe is in C. The oboe d'amore is a minor third lower in pitch than the oboe, however typically music for the oboe d'amore is written so that oboe fingerings may be used (in other words, the note A is printed as a C, so that the player uses the oboe fingering for C but the note sounds a minor third lower).

Why is the bassoon sound lower than the oboe?
This is a basic physics concept. The longer an instrument, the lower the frequency of the sound waves coming out of it, and therefore a lower pitch. The Oboe is a small, short instrument. The bassoon, on the other hand, is a large instrument. Because it is longer, you get a lower pitch. This principle applies for all instruments.
