But the default sound fonts are rather poor in Windows, with many instruments barely distinguishable from piano. I use VirtualMidiSynth from http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth with the Fluid R3 GM bank from http://www.synthfont.com/soundfonts.html and the difference between piano and steel guitar is quite clear.
