Pitch contributes to the differences in sounds produced by a violin and a flute due to variations in their fundamental frequencies. The violin, with its strings, produces a range of pitches determined by finger placement and bowing techniques. Meanwhile, the flute, a wind instrument, generates pitches by controlling airflow and fingering techniques on its openings.
