Timbre is more to do with the makeup of the sound than the pitch. The reason that different instruments have different timbres is down in most cases to the physics behind the way the sound is produced.
For example, imagine the sound of a piano playing middle C, and then the same note played on a violin, and then on a xylophone. They are all the same note, but they all sound different because they produce the sound in different ways - a string hit with a felt hammer has a different quality to a string scraped with a bow or a shaped piece of wood hit with a beater.
If you want to get into more detail, the waveform produced by the instrument can be analysed into a 'fundamental' (the main pitch) and a number of 'harmonics' mathematically related to the fundamental. The more harmonics, the 'brighter' the sound.

What is a sound box and how does it contribute to the quality of sound produced by a musical instrument?
A sound box is a hollow chamber in a musical instrument that amplifies and resonates sound waves produced by the instrument. It contributes to the quality of sound by enhancing the volume, richness, and tone of the sound produced. The shape and material of the sound box can greatly impact the overall sound quality of the instrument.
What is the relationship between vibration sound and the quality of a musical instrument?
The relationship between vibration, sound, and the quality of a musical instrument is that the vibrations produced by the instrument affect the sound it produces. Higher quality instruments typically have better construction and materials, resulting in clearer and more resonant vibrations, which in turn produce a higher quality sound.
