Tightening the wire to tune the instrument can change pitch. Tighter wires vibrate faster, making the pitch higher.

Does plucking a string harder change the pitch?
Briefly, yes, a harder picked note gives a higher pitch. The reason for this is that picking harder stretches the string further, and a stretched string has higher tension, and therefore higher pitch.
What string produces the higher pitch?
A smaller triangle or cymbal will make a relatively higher pitch note. On a stringed instrument such as a guitar or violin a thinner string will generally make a higher note, but also shortening the string by stopping it with the finger will produce a similar effect.
What happens the harder you strike a guitar string?
Shorter prongs produce higher pitch (frequency) sounds than longer prongs. Long prongs will bend more readily and therefore tend to vibrate at a lower frequency when struck. ... Hitting the fork harder will produce a louder sound because the initial vibration was larger.
Which string will produce a higher pitch and why?
When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.
