Julien,

Since I have some experience with swami having done my Soprano Sax
soundfont (http://64.136.57.245/soundfonts/SopranoSax.sf2.gz), I'll give
it a shot, but I can't promise a timeframe. 

BTW: I loaded the flac into audacity and can't make heads or tails of it. 
How are you working with it?

Regards,
Bill
