I haven't got that soundfont, so I can't compare here. Certainly with the soundfonts I do have, Fluidsynth produces a long level string tone when I play a long note. The fonts I'm using probably just contain fairly straightforward sample loops. You could always just try another soundfont, although one supplied with a card is probably more likely to be consistent and well balanced. Still, the one I use most (Musica Theory 2) has pretty adequate solo strings. I think I got it from Hammersound. Chris
