You can remap any bank/instrument in Timidity to a particular patch.
In /etc/timidity.conf you can, say, improve the harpsichord by using
the Ross soundfont:
bank 0
6 %font ross.sf2 1 2
to replace instrument 6 in bank 0 (harpsichord) with instrument 2 in
bank 1 of the ross.sf2 soundfont.
There are lots of soundfonts available from
http://www.personalcopy.com/
The Ross soundfont for harpsichord is from http://web.ncf.ca/bf250/my.html
