What are the variable factors that affect the pitch (frequency) of a vibrating string? How are these factors controlled in a stringed musical instrument such as a violin?

On a violin, the factors that control the pitch, assuming that it is adequately constructed, would be how the string is made to vibrate, that is a bow or finger plucking, and where you place your fingers on the fretboard. Of course, the quality of the sound depends on the player.
Reply:Tension on the strings simple as that. The tighter the string the higher the frequency of vibration and thusly the higher the pitch.
