#### 10.3.3 MIDI instrument names

The MIDI instrument name is set by the `Staff.midiInstrument` property. The instrument name should be chosen from the list in MIDI instruments.

    \set Staff.midiInstrument = "glockenspiel"
    ...notes...

If the selected instrument does not exactly match an instrument from the list of MIDI instruments, the Grand Piano (`"acoustic grand"`) instrument is used.
