[LAU] decent guitar / bodhran / bass samples

[Hein Zelle]

Hello list,

having very recently started with audio and midi recording, I'm
finding the available instruments in the timidity free patches are not
quite suitable for Irish music.  I need decent samples for guitar,
bass and bodhran (drum), possibly harp.  Any advice on where to get those?

I've tried the free patchset for timidity, and also the pc51 soundfont
found through google.  One of the few instruments sounding almost
acceptable is the accoustic bass.  Any suggestions for other
soundfonts, plugins for instruments or other solutions?  I'd be
willing to make a bodhran patch set myself, if I knew how.

On a related note: what would be a typical way to enter guitar
accompanyment into rosegarden?  Using a keyboard, or some other way?
I'm not so great at chords and play the flute myself, so my "keyboard
guitar" currently resembles anything but a guitar.

Kind regards,
     Hein Zelle
