Thanks for those links.
That's one of the reasons I was trying to point out (gently) the equal
temperament tuners are not the best thing for tuning a HG - especially the
individual tangents as it will make the instrument sound, as you say
"muddy", and I quote what you say in the second link:
"But that all is not a hurdy gurdy thing, that is a drone thing (its the
same on a keyboard). A drone puts every single note into a relation towards
it and equal temperament is made for the opposite - its the definite
no-drone-tuning."

Probably the best way if you are laying in a group with other
instruments, of course. They'll all be tuned to equal.
Equal Vs Just can be a can of worms!
the topic of intonation was discssed on the list lately. To point towards
