I don't know of such a thing, but we (the brass-band list) are probably
in the best position to make one.  Here's an offer: If people on the
list can submit samples (we need to think how many of each instrument)
I'll make them up into a sound font. [Are there different versions? I'm
using an AWE32].

If anyone would like to participate in this, please contact me
privately; I'll summarise to the list.

My experience of existing brass samples on sound cards is that if I ever
made that sort of noise in a band, the MD would descend on me like a ton
of bricks :-)
