Just to be sure. You removed the \chordnames part and added the \chords.
When I did this I got a guitar (well, it didn't sound like a guitar, but 
it was not a piano) both for the melody and the chords.

I think it would be beneficial if you attached the .ly file so we can 
see what you have done...

I have tried a couple of different instrument names. The chord sound does vary 
but still very much piano like.

Here is the file

\version "2.19.25"
\include "predefined-ukulele-fretboards.ly"
\storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode {c:dim7}
                        #ukulele-tuning 
                       "5-3;3-2;2-1;o;"

myChordsTransposed = \chordmode {
  e1:7 |
  s1 |
  a2 g |
  c2:dim7 a:7 |
  d1 |
  s1 |
  s2 s4 g |
}
\score {
<<
\chords {
  \set ChordNames.midiInstrument = #"banjo"
    \myChordsTransposed
}
  \new FretBoards {
    \set Staff.stringTunings = #ukulele-tuning
    \myChordsTransposed
  }

  \relative c'' 
  \new Staff {
    \set Staff.midiInstrument = "acoustic guitar (nylon)"

\transpose c b {
