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.

regards,

Jon
