Yes, indeed.
Materials expand and contract with changes in temperature, so instruments get larger or smaller. If you had a trumpet twice the normal size, it would have a lower pitch (think of a tuba compared with a trumpet). Most of the time, the difference is slight, but if you tuned up in a warm room and then went outside on a cold winter day, the instrument would become slightly sharp.

Electric pickups are quite accessible. They give the violin a different sound quality, like an electric vs. acoustic guitar. Also, pizzicato and col legno (banging the bow wood on the string) give the string a very percussive sound. There is also a very flute-like sound produced when bowing above the finger board.

Temerapture and moisture both affect the pitch. Whether it's wood or brass, it will change slightly based on the temp, thus affecting the pitch.

Every material has a specific expansin or compression so does the strings of the guitar.

YES... This is why you "warm up" before you start playing
