There aren't many free samples of individual instruments, so I took the samples from this website, split them up, cut, pasted, and trimmed them by hand into individual wav files, then loaded them into DirectWave. This pack contains the directwave programs and the source wave files (all labeled) to each of the following instruments:
Instruments
- Alto Flute
- Alto Saxophone*
- Bass Clarinet
- Bass Flute
- Bass Trombone
- Bassoon
- Bb Clarinet
- Bb Trumpet*
- Cello
- Double Bass°
- Eb Clarinet
- Flute*
- French Horn
- Oboe
- Piano
- Soprano Saxophone*
- Tenor Trombone
- Tuba
- Viola°
- Violin
* = There are 2 sets of samples for these instruments: Vibrato and Non-vibrato
° = There are 2 sets of samples for these instruments: Arco and Pizzicato
The pack is divided into the MIS Orchestra Instruments and MIS Stereo Piano - If you don't have directwave, you can load the wav files into the sample manager of your choice. The source samples that this pack was built from were released into the public domain with no restrictions. This collection is released under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 license (essentially, yes, you can sell songs you make using these samples).
MIS Orchestra Instruments (580 MB) [ alternate ]
MIS Stereo Piano (200 MB) [ alternate ]
Songs Made Using the SamplePack

Enjoy!
NOTE: There are over 2700 samples in this pack (2770), and thus it is impossible for me to find all of the mistakes. Please tell me if you find one so I can fix it ASAP. Better yet, fix it for me and send it so I don't have to :D
