It refers to the difference in the complexity of sounds. It is the specific sound heard and varies from instrument to instrument. The Flute has a different timber than the violin even if they play the same pitch on the scale. The trained human ear is able to distinguish changes in timber between some Musical Instruments, including a violin and flute, because of the way music is created by each instrument.

It is different from pitch because pitch only refers to the frequency of the sound, e.g Concert A, 440 Hz, or the C below, Middle C, 261.63 Hz. Timber is the quality of the pitch created, not frequency, and generally distinct to each musical instrument.
