If the harp is out of tune then that is not good, and that isn't an opinion.
   What I seem to hear a lot of the time is a harp not tuned to the same
temperament as the guitar/other, which (in my opinion!) is also not good.

Yes but that is to your ears. What is in tune, or out of tune to you
is not necessarily how some one else may hear it. tehcnically it may be out 
of tune, but that doesn't make it bad. There are many blues recordings
where things are out of tune and out of sync but they sound fine to 
me(that's just me)

I assumed that "out of tune" in the present discussion meant out of tune in 
the "defective-harp" sense, e.g. reed gone flat.  That is in contrast to all 
the different aspects of tunings, temperaments and overall pitch of the 
harp, an area in which I would avoid the term "out of tune" like the plague 
lest Pat Missin should savage me  #;-)
