  All you really have to do is get close. {voxengo.com has an excellent
{excellent} reverb that's based on the idea. He also has some impulses... I
don't remember what the license was. He also has a few links to some other sites
that you can get them from.}

 Soundforge had the impulse modeller thing several years ago. I've ended up
combining stuff with whatever wave file seemed suitable. {saw and square waves
and reed samples being the best... you can even model sounds with themselves.}
I'm not searching for anything specific though. Soundforge came with a huge
directory full of precise images...they did have a lot of them up on their
pages. {I'm not sure what Sony's done with them though.}  they're not necessary
unless you're going after scientific precision. With plain wave files you can
use the thing like a synth. Once you come to understand what specific wave files
will do when you combine them you start to get precision.
