The inaccuracy of the WT-10 wasn't too bad, but it was bad enough to inspire other companies to improve on it. So guitarists in particular were delighted to have something simple they could bring on stage with them. In comparison with wind and keyboard instruments, guitars are especially apt to drift out of tune, even during a performance.

So when an electronic tuner came along, the issue wasn't a matter of how much more convenient it was the issue was the difference between convenience and none whatsoever. Some players were even content with simply having the strings in “relative tune'-in other words, being at the proper intervals from each other without bothering to make sure that the E string was vibrating at the proper absolute frequency. So back in the day, many guitarists would simply use tuning forks, pitch pipes, pianos, or even records to tune their instruments. Mechanical strobe tuners, around since the 1930s, could be quite accurate, but they required wall power, cost a lot of money, and could weigh as much as 15 kilograms. Though it wasn't as accurate as previous tuners, no one really cared. The market for portable, battery-powered instrument tuners was pioneered by Korg, with its introduction of the WT-10 guitar and bass tuner in 1975.
