   I recommended the freepats-20060219, but in the timidity package I 
included a smaller set of patches in the interests of keeping down the size.

    In fact, the ones I use ARE the freepats patches, although I have found a 
better and larger patch for BANJO, which I have added to my own collection.

   Yes, although you may find it safer to comment out the patch that is being 
replaced, and add a new line for the new patch - just in case it turns out to 
have some unexpected (and unwanted) audible foibles. It happens sometimes.

Regards,
         Ron
