Improvements for fluid.sf3
2.0 will use a new soundfont format: SF3.
I think the default soundfont will be fluid.sf3, but I would like to propose a few improvements, if possible.
One that comes to mind is changing the names of entries.
This would include:
Bright Yamaha Grand > Bright Yamaha Grand Piano
Electric Piano > Electric Grand Piano
Honky Tonk > Honky Tonk Piano
Accordian > Accordion
Any other things?

I'm not sure it matter - apart from the mis-spelling of Accordion.
Normal users probably won't get as far as the mixer, and those who do will know that a Bright Yamaha Grand is a piano.
And as Electric piano covers a multitude of sins ranging from a Rhodes through Wurlitzer to a Yamaha CP80, I think we can safely leave this.
I would be more concerned to add Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds eventually assuming we can find sample sets.

Entry 3 at MIDI.org specifically says 'Electric Grand Piano'.

So Electric Grand doesn't convey the meaning?
I have seen that patch called everything from MIDI Grand through Yamaha Piano to the official MMA naming.
It's not important.
