Maybe it just applies to drums. But like all musical instruments, regular tuning is a must to maintain sound quality, like once a month or once per week.

Although I am a pretty beginner-ish guitar player, I can hear stark differences between a Epiphone and a Fender. A Fender has a purer sound, like something that melts with a consistency when a single note is played. An Epiphone doesn't really have that kind, the sound melts much quicker and doesn't have much of a consistent sustain. Something like a difference between a freefall velocity-time graph and an acceleration-time graph. But that is just my opinion, no offense to anyone out there.
Anyway, I started out playing the piano/keyboard. A word of advice if you are a person who loves playing the piano and hates following notes and set pieces : NEVER buy Yamaha. They make good drumsets, moderate guitars, but lousy pianos. I just got a Weinberg 2nd hand, and after tuning it sounds much less coarse than my previous Yamaha.
