"Low pitch usually implies that it is pitched for A=440, which is standard for American tuning in most cases. Higher pitched instruments are pitched correspondingly higher, and were primarily dsesigned for the European market,a s they tend to tune a tad higher over there."

Slight Correction: High Pitch (HP) instruments are not tuned "a tad higher". They are tuned "a bunch higher". They are not at all like a European clarinet tuned at 442-444, which could be used in the USA. A High Pitch instrument is completely unplayable in a modern ensemble.
