How do you determine pitch and volume of an instrument?
The pitch in an instrument can be how large or small the instrument is - as in small instruments are pitched higher and big instruments are pitched lower. In woodwind and brass instruments the volume is determined by how hard you blow down the instrument. On the piano it is how hard you press down on the keys. On an orchestral string instrument it is how softly you draw the bow across the strings. On a guitar it is how hard you pluck the strings.
