For good quality, low cost samples along the lines of this thread
I would recommend you check out the 'New World Order' sound
banks from Sounds Good at Primesounds
http://www.primesounds.com/

They offer real audio previews and the downloads are available
as WAV, AIFF or MP3 (which is available for faster downloads but
and you;ll need to convert the MP3 into a format compatible with
your sampler, obviously) IMO, the sample quality is very good for
cost. A one month subscription use to cost less than $15 USD
but I believe there has been a modest price increase. I haven't
renewed my subscription since it expired during the new year.

I downloaded MANY (if not all) the NWO series, Vol. 1 & 2, as I
just can't get enough ethnic samples. You'll specifically want to
check out the European selection of the NWO Sound Banks for
Bagpipe & Penny Whistle samples. You'll be quite pleased. As
an alternative low cost selection you might check out eSoundz or
Time & Space's Creative Essentials series.
