High Pitch is 452-453Hz which isn't compatible alongside Low Pitch instruments built to 440Hz.

Instruments built between 438-442Hz can be played alongside ones built to 440Hz with some adjustment. Instruments built to 443-444Hz are going to sound very sharp.

Many flutes on the market today are built to 442Hz which is why flutes are usually on the sharp side or get increasingly and painfully sharp as they go higher which is mostly down to the player's ineptitude as a musician to play the thing in tune, but still not helped by a flute that's already wanting to be sharp. They can be brought into tune with themselves by adjusting the headjoint cork position and pulling out the headjoint as well as listening.

Horns are often built to around 445Hz to cover all eventualities, but they can be tuned down to 440Hz by pulling out all the slides by the required amount.
