madolins have 8 strings in 4 pairs (equally tuned). The lowest string is a G, and the highest sting is an E. This leaves the highest note (on a conventional 18 fret mando) as a C

Is there a difference between a mandolin and a violin or is it the selfsame instrument but played in a different way?

Yes, there is a difference. A mandolin is a lute-like instrument, played like a guitar: http://www.answers.com/topic/mandolin?cat=entertainment A violin is a stringed instrument, played with a bow: http://www.answers.com/topic/violin?cat=entertainment However, just as there are four members of the violin family - the violin, viola, cello/violoncello and double bass, there are four basic members of the mandolin family which bear some relation to the violin family's relationships. These are as follows: * mandolin, with a range similar to that of the violin * mandola or tenor mandola, tuned to a fifth below the mandolin, meaning it has the same relationship as a viola to a violin * mandocello or mandolin cello * mando-bass, which is tuned like a double bass There are also several other mandolins in the mandolin family, such as the octave mandolin, the piccolo or sopranino mandolin, and several other variants of the mandolin from other countries.

Which guitar string would have the lower pitch the guitar string is short and tight or guitar string is really long and loose?

depending on the the individual gauges of the six (6) guitar strings ie: E, A, D, G, B, E, of course the guitar string that is long and loose produces the lowest pitch... A good example of this are the strings on a mandolin or a 'banduria' which has shorter strings compared to the strings on the guitar...because the mandolin/banduria strings are shorter and tighter, it produces higher pitch... "short and tight=higher pitch......long and loose=lower pitch"
