It isn't really useful to share this I guess, because my set up crashes
if I hit a dozen keys or so, either plinking one by one or hitting more
keys together.

I don't know how to get a sound font yet! Can you send the address to
download your sound file, if it is free of charge?

I did not use any sound font. timidity installation depends on freepat
package which introduced a lot of .pat files which I guess is used to
produce the sound, but the files' name doesn't end with .sf2
