It's frustratingly impossible to track the actual origin of the samples, but it's pretty near certain that you can use this for whatever you want. The result is, to my ear, already the most lifelike orchestra that exists in the SoundFont format-and I intend to improve it in the future. ) So I fixed the above mentioned issues by borrowing samples from other SoundFonts. MuseScore's ChurchOrganist Michael Cowgill has been gradually adding improvements in recent years to the SoundFont originally created by Frank Wen, having added an alternative 'mellow' piano, currently putting in the hard work to manually loop 135 individual samples just to replace the clarinet sound, and most recently fixing an issue with the timpani. a few notes in the violin are noticeably out of tune

However, there are a few problems with it: the default piano is too 'bright' Of the many SF2 SoundFonts in the world, one of the best for playing orchestral music is FluidR3/FluidR3Mono-which is why it's included with MuseScore.
