banjo disappears when converted from midi to MP3

Hello all. I made a tune using Pro Audio which used the banjo. I saved it as midi and it plays just fine. When I try and convert it to MP3, the banjo disappears and changes to piano. All the other instruments are fine. What up with that?

    the banjo disappears and changes to piano.
    There's not much information here to go on. My best guess: That channel was reset with a Program Change message of 1 at the beginning of the .mid file. Insert an appropriate Program Change message there. It's impossible for me to say exactly what message, but if I assume a General MIDI setup, I'd suggest a Program Change number of 106.

    One special note: Some synths consider the range of Program Changes to be 1-128. Others use a range of 0-127. If that's the case, the piano would be Program Change 0 under GM, and the banjo would be 105. You end up having to subtract 1 from the 1-128 convention.
