T H I S  is what I was lookin' for, thanks a zillion! When I pointed 
let's say my 1st instance of qsynth to a given soundfont file I 
_presumed_ it was being 'loaded' so that any calls to my qs1 would 
include. That's why I couldn't finger out why-oh-why the instrument
params didn't show them. So then what exactly does setting it in the 
qsynth setup accomplish? ..but don't nobody lose any sleep over this one :-) 

Do you play the trumpet BTW  [rosegarden.trumpeter]?

Yes, I've been installing everything I could find including the 
neighbor's piano trying to make _this_ work.  The dssi plugins 
work alright, I'll use those whenever possible because they all 
come together in the nice Studio>Audi-Mixer for recording as a 
wave file (making backing tracks).
