    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.
