I've found some pretty decent sample sets of acoustic instruments that are nice to use in conjunction with rosegarden or some other sequencer for more traditional composition. Its one of the areas I'm interested in, combined with lilypond one could have a fairly high quality composition studio. Maybe the subject for a branch? I think fluidsynth/qsynth is pretty small so it might be worth including if its not a hassle. I think it was on the original puredyne I used, back in the green days. not a major issue though
