organ: zynaddsubfx, timidity, qsynth, etc.

There is a Korg sp100 sampled into sf2 format to use with Qsynth, but I 
think that you will need some Steinway sf2 found browsing internet

If you use it as a live cd: yes

But you can copy qsampler_0.1.2-1_i386.deb to some place in your hard 
disk, as instance: /mnt/hda1/qsampler/qsampler_0.1.2-1_i386.deb

and then dpkg -i /mnt/hda1/qsampler/qsampler_0.1.2-1_i386.deb

It could work fine (i dont have time to test it here)

So, you will only have to type

dpkg -i /mnt/hda1/qsampler/qsampler_0.1.2-1_i386.deb

into a root console (xterm, konsole, etc)

By the way: linuxsampler and qsampler are too experimental for now

good luck
