I have tried a couple of different instrument names. The chord sound does vary

If you change acoustic guitar (nylon) to banjo and comment out the
chords section you'll hear that the banjo (or any other fretted string
instrument) will sound through your midi player.
I'm just using the in Windows built in synthesizer so it doesn't sound
like a banjo or acoustic guitar. Chords will sound more like a
keyboard/piano with a slightly different tone.
So the sound depends on the synthesizer that is used to create them. The
built in software synthesizer in windows is really bad! Don't know which
OS you are using, but there are software synthesizer that give a much
better sound, e.g. Coolsoft Virtual Synth
