Either A or B.


A:
In the score section you have put your \set command
between one "\new Staff" block and the next.
This leaves it outside these blocks,
where it has no influence:
- too late for the preceding block
- the subsequent block establishes its own (default) midiInstrument.
So move your \set command inside
i.e. to before or after \global.
Maybe you influenced the containing "\new StaffGroup" in some way.


B:
In the "\new Voice" blocks your \set commands for midiInstrument
should say "Staff.", just like you did for instrumentName.


Cheers,
