The pitch of an open string, not pressed down at any fret, is determined by

1 the length of the string, from bridge to nut, along with

2 the thickness of the string, along with

3 the amount of tension applied to tighten the string by the tuning gears at the head.

This pitch can be further modified by pressing strings down between the frets.
