can a guitar tuner be made inaccurate by minor stress such as a short fall,if it is 100% analog such as the t?

the Matrix SR1000 , because the quartz crystal would somehow be compromised, or is the crystal safe and secure as long as the needle still moves, can the Crystal be somehow be knocked into less accuracy in the cents dept. and the needle still work I HAVE TO KNOW THIS!!!

As long as it is crystal based, then there is virtually no chance that it would be inaccurate. As long as it is working at all, it should be fine.

The reason ewe use crystals is that they have a natural frequency of vibration that does not vary more than a VERY small amount, with external conditions.

I doubt its accuracy would be out of whack much.

Test it up against another tuner and see how they compare.

Very tiny changes in tone probably won't be noticed live anyway.
