I think most or all instruments need tuning. Wind instruments need tuning because the sound can be sharp or flat. If you're playing in a band or ensemble, it sounds a lot better if all of the instruments are tuned. That way, the notes sound the same. If you have heard a note and its flat played together, it probably doesn't sound good. If one of the instruments is flat, that is what that part of the music will sound like. I play the Clarinet, and we have to pull out at the barrel of the instrument if it is sharp to lengthen the instrument. If it is flat, we push the barrel in or tighten our embouchure to make the instrument shorter or fix the sound. I'm not sure if all instruments tune that way, but that's what I know. I hope this helps you. If you're playing a wind instrument, I hope you are successful! :)

Difference between tuning string instruments and tuning wind instruments?

The difference between tuning string instruments and wind instruments is that with string instruments, you must adjust the tension of the strings in order to tune/change the pitch. With wind instruments (most of the time), you have to pull a part of the instrument either in or out to change the pitch/tune (pulling it out would make the pitch lower, and pushing it in would make the pitch higher). For example, with a trombone, there is a tuning slide at the top that you can pull or push out. If you had a saxophone, you would have to pull out or push in on the mouthpiece. If you had a guitar (string instrument), however, there are tuning keys that you can turn to adjust the tension of the strings.
